Campers will be learning to sail in

. These boats are easy to handle, highly stable, and tons of fun—ideal for learning the fundamentals of sailing.

Capsize Recovery
Basic sailing terminology and boat parts
How to rig and de-rig an Opti sailboat
Wind awareness and points of sail
Steering and sail control
Water safety and right-of-way rules
Teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving on the water
Upon satisfactory completion of all Learn to Sail skills, sailors will be eligible to enroll in the Intermediate Level Camp.
