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!

Sailing experiences on small youth sailboats with experienced youth counselors and on their own, sailing on cabin boats and catamarans.We are offering an optional overnight in the clubhouse on cots for a slumber party experience.
Parents are invited to camp at CSA, and camp format is flexible for camper/parent needs.
For planning purposes, there will be activities planned until 8pm on Friday/Saturday night. Breakfast is at 8am and activities will be starting by 9am each day.
Camp check-in will be anytime between 8:30 and 10:00am on Friday morning. Camp ends at 4:00pm on Sunday.Looking forward to a fun Kinder Sail Camp.
