Kids Set Sail 2012

What is Kids Set Sail?

Kids Set Sail offers beginner and intermediate courses for 7-14 year olds over the course of 6 one-week sessions throughout the summer.

Beginner students will learn basic small boat sailing and have the opportunity to become US Sailing Small Boat Level One certified.

Intermediate students will learn race techniques and build up their navigational skills, with the opportunity to become US Sailing Small Boat Level Two Certified. 

Staff: US Sailing certified instructors are always on board, but youth work together to run and boat.  Students with some prior sailing experience will really benefit from our intermediate sessions; although we accommodate all sailing levels.

Both on land and on the water, our energetic instructors use a fun combination of games and drills to teach sailing concepts.  At Kids Set Sail, fun is an integral part of our program. By the end of the week, your child will be a whiz at sailboat tag as well as maneuvering a small boat.

Scholarships: DC Sail offers partial scholarships of $250 (final cost - $100) per week to applicants who meet the criteria outlined in the Scholarship Application. We will also work on a case-by-case basis with those who need further assistance.
