Take advantage of our priceless seaside location and sail with us this summer.  Exposing your children to sailing at an early age has endless benefits. 

Beyond the practical skills acquired through hands on learning, the intangible lessons learned through sailing enhance all aspects of your child's development.

Studies have shown that sailing education helps to increase muscle strength and endurance, improve cardiovascular fitness and mental wellness, lower stress, increase agility, improve concentration and spatial awareness as well as improve communication and organizational skills. 

For over 50 years, this program as developed generations of youth sailors many of whom have competed at the high school and even collegiate levels. 

Take a look at the many options that we have for all ability levels and feel fee to contact the Recreation Department if you have any questions.
