About This Activity
New offering for ages 10-14! This class will run for full day, week-long sessions. With only 12 sailors per class, the instructors (with potential special guests) will lead the group in a sailing-related STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) activity, then the group (led by the instructors) will spend the rest of the day sailing around the lake on one of our 23’ Sonar Keelboats. STEAM activities may include, but are not limited to: learning about buoyancy by making clay boats, measuring sail area, using protractors to observe upwind sailing angles to understand the purpose of tacking, participating in simple machine scavenger hunts, and other fun activities and lessons. Taught in 23′ Sonar Keelboats and on-land. Sailing curriculum includes hands-on understanding points of sail, and sailing upwind and downwind through discussion, diagrams, and participation.
