Ages 8-15 (cost: $320 for members; $400 for non-members)

All young sailors will get to experience the joy of sailing our J/22, Sonar, and Access Dinghy Sailboats this summer. Our primary vessel is the J/22, but we do "dinghy daze" once every couple of weeks and we use the Sonars to sail over to Fells Point or out past Fort McHenry.

Novices and Beginners spend the majority of their time learning the basics of sailing through an experiential environment with coaches aboard the keelboats and a 1:4 coach:camper ratio. 

Intermediate sailors will spend more time honing their sailing skills and knowledge through more in-depth chalk talks and more focused sailing on the J/22s. Our goal for truly intermediate junior campers is to begin stepping off the boat and let them take full control of the sails and helm.

And once your Junior Camper can sail without a coach aboard, it is time for the Performance Spinnaker Camp option (see below)!

Weekly activities include:

• Four Square - The de facto camp game, played during every break and after lunch!
• "Fort Run" - Every week, our campers will race out to Fort McHenry in our J/22s, accompanied by power boat support. If the weather is really nice, we may even sail out to the Key Bridge and anchor out for lunch by the "Star-Spangled Banner Buoy".
  
• "BOP Day" - Typically held on Wednesdays, our sailors take a trip over to Historic Fells Point to enjoy classic "Brick Oven Pizza" and chill on the Bond Street Park lawn. Sailors are welcome to bring their own lunches and enjoy the relaxing lunch.
• Rainy Day Movies - Got rain? Not a problem! Our campers enjoy great classics like Wind, Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Caribbean, Morning Light and the new favorite Moana. Our staff keeps the movies age-appropriate, so you can rest assured you child doesn't bring home anything new other than sailing skills.
  
• In addition to providing quality sailing instruction, we are committed to providing lots of structured play time as well as supervised, unstructured time for your child to grow. Our Junior Summer Camp seamlessly blends sailing education with fun activities. Your child will learn to sail in a safe environment, but they will also have the opportunity to be kids and to have fun! 
• Within reason, we want your children to have the experience they want to have, so we structure each day with "Choice and Voice" so they can take the reigns on their own camp destiny! By charting out weekly activities in advance, campers can know what to expect and provide input on how the week flows.
