2024 Junior Sailing Camp
*highly encouraged to attend 2 weeks (Level 1 and 2, 2 and 3, or all three!)
Level 1 - This camp is perfect for those beginners, first learning how to sail or brushing up on their skills.
June 10-14
July 8-12
Level 2 - Recommended to attend right after Level 1-This camp is for sailors who have attended Level 1 sailing camp and want to continue building their skills. The focus is on sail trim, racing skills, wind, weather, and safety.
June 17-21
July 15-19
Level 3- Advanced camp - Sailors must have completed Level 2 to participate either this summer or previous summers. This week will incorporate single-hand sailing, Bay sailing, and will include small and big boat sailing (weather permitting).
June 24-28
July 22-26
Regatta Race Development Day- Specifically, work on racing skills for upcoming regatta. Attend 1 or both days. Regatta is August 3rd!
July 31 and August 1, 10am-12pm (Wind dependent)
Notes about camp levels: Level 1 builds basic knowledge of sailing, boat terms, and the basics of sailing on and off the dock. Level 2 builds on this knowledge in a “putting it all together” style, and Level 3 takes it up a notch where sailing will occur down the Creek or in the Bay.
***It is suggested to register for 2 weeks of sailing camp. Regardless of having participated in previous years' camps, it is a good refresher and always good practice to get out on the water.
Please contact Hannah at hannah@capecharlessailingcamp.com, if you are preparing to sign up for a Level 2 camp without having taken a Level 1 week of camp or Level 3 camp without having taken 1 and 2.
