Summer Camp!

Advanced: (Ages 12-16), 2 Week Program

Advanced programming picks up where Intermediate left off, with campers starting day one sailing with their instructors coaching from chase boats. The focus of advanced programming is not only how to sail, but how to sail as a competent skipper under most conditions, even with novice crew! Over the two week advanced program campers will be focused on locking in all of their safety drills, docking, spinnaker work, radio communication, and all of our other criteria for a Skipper Checkout. These skills can be daunting, but we will break everything down into manageable drills to make sure everyone gets comfortable fighting for positioning on a busy starting line.

It is advised that Campers have at least two years of sailing experience before registering for our Advanced classes.
