      Youth STEM and Sail Camp (8 - 11 years)

      Sailing is an activity that has a lifetime’s worth of lessons and can take years to master. Come try-it at this fun, one-day summer camp filled with on-shore activities that will use STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to teach your kids about the whys behind what makes a sailboat work. Kids will have an opportunity to get out on a sailboat with an instructor for a portion of the day and get a taste of helping make the boat travel around Cleveland's beautiful harbor. 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. (8 - 11 years)
