Summer Sailing Camp 2011
Please join us this year for Summer Sailing Camp at the Palm Beach Sailing Club. Our instructors will teach your child the basics of sailing. The emphasis will be on water safety, boat handling, capsize recovery, seamanship, team work, sportsmanship, and most importantly, FUN!
Sailors will be classified by age, weight, and skill level. Class sizes are limited. Basic swimming skills are required, and each sailor will need to bring a life jacket. Camp is held rain or shine. In the event of bad weather, sailing related activities will be taught indoors.
Learning to sail takes time so at least two one-week sessions are recommended for the beginner. Sign up now to reserve your spot in the Palm Beach Sailing Club's Summer Sailing Camp! Please contact the Club for more information, 561.881.0809.
