    Teens Can Sail! Skill Builders Camp (11 - 15 years)

    Parks | Calendar | Teens Can Sail! Skill Builders Camp (11 - 15 years)
      Teens Can Sail! Skill Builders Camp (11 - 15 years)

      Spend 4 afternoons learning to sail on the inner harbor of Lake Erie. Learn about sailing both big boats and small boats in a small group setting focusing on gaining some independence in the boat under the guidance of an experienced instructor. Enjoy age-appropriate lessons and lots of adventurous fun! Whether we are on land or water, we will learn about crewing and skippering a boat, teamwork as a group of sailors, and the Corinthian Spirit. Learn about parts of a sailboat, how boats work in the wind, maneuvering the boat to a set location, safety, and how to recover a boat if it tips. Please bring a water bottle, layers of warm and dry clothes, and water shoes or sandals that strap around the heel. Come prepared to get wet! (11 - 15 years)
