Community Engagement

The Downtown Sailing Center (DSC) is committed to providing opportunities for everyone to experience the waters of Baltimore.

Our community programs aim to break down barriers of all kinds, providing access and opportunities for all. By offering low- to no-cost sailing experiences, we strive to make the water and the sport of sailing more inclusive.

These efforts are made possible through partnerships with local community organizations and the support of our passionate volunteers.
