What we’re about
Welcome to our Sailing Club, where we focus on all things sailing - from learning to sail to cruising to competitive racing. We are a social club focused on enjoying sailing and creating friendships.
We have something for everyone, whether you're a seasoned sailor looking to brush up on your skills or a newbie (adults and kids) wanting to learn. The club also offers a Junior Sailing Program.
Join us for fun-filled outings on and off the water, networking with fellow sailing enthusiasts, and learning from experienced sailors. Let's hoist the sails, catch the wind, and embark on unforgettable sailing journeys together!

Junior Sail Camp Information and RegistrationWe are very excited and looking forward to another incredible Junior Sail Camp. Learn and improve sailing skills in small boats and also gain experience on larger sailboats. We will play many sailing games like Siamese Twins, Rubber Ducky Tag, Buzkashi, Dead Fish, and sailing tricks and challenges like Bic Limbo. The Long Distance Voyage has been a success and we’ll do it again this year. We’ll also have many off the water games like Steal the Bacon, Capture the Flag, and some new ones, as well as a sail boat building challenge. Don’t forget about all of the awesome food that camp has to offer including the pizza/pool party and our fantastic picnic lunch catered on our voyage across the lake.
This year we will have options to camp in your own tent or in the clubhouse. The younger campers are encouraged to camp in the clubhouse, while older campers are encouraged to camp in tents. We ask that you try to limit tents to 2-3 campers per tent. The larger tents do not fair as well in storms. We have cots for all clubhouse campers and some extra for tent campers if you do not have something.
Whether it’s your first or fifth time to attend camp, it’s a great way to meet other youth their age and enjoy the sport of sailing. All activities are fully insured, and supervised by Certified US Sailing Instructors who are qualified in CPR and first aid.
We will end the week with the annual Firecracker Regatta and awards dinner. This CSA tradition is a fun way for your child to finish camp and show a thing or two about what they learned throughout the week.
