The Downtown Sailing Center is partnering with The Chesapeake Down Syndrome Parent Group to create a sailing program for teenagers and adults who have Down syndrome who would like to learn how to sail! The program will be divided up into 5 session throughout the summer. It will teach sailing and valuable life lessons.  Each participant will get time and practice in two kinds of boats and get to show off what they learned in a mini regatta at the end!

For session 2 we will be using Dinghies. So we need volunteers to help as sailing buddies, greeters and escorts and dock help. 

We ask that volunteers arrive around 4:30/4:40 to help rig the dinghies. The Participants are expected to arrive at the sailing center around 5:30-6:00PM. Event starts at 6PM and it should wrap up around 7:30PM.

Refreshments and pizza will be provided. 

It will be a great opportunity for volunteers to experience one of our accessible programs in a relaxed atmosphere. Since the program has a smaller group of participants it allows for the volunteers to learn the ins and outs while helping an amazing group of people learn about sailing. 

There is training available for all of these positions, if you are interested in learning about a specific role feel free to call the office at 410-727-0772 ext 113 or email Johanna Murphy, the DSC Volunteer Coordinator at:  johanna@downtownsailing.org
