Participants: Youths (ages 8 to 12) under 115 lbs and less than 5ft tall. Designed for children with little or no experience sailing a single-handed small sailboat. Students learn basic sailing skills and seamanship as well as common sailing knots, parts of the boats, and right-of-way rules. They also learn the points of sail, basic tacking and gybing, and basic sail trim. The US Sailing certified instructors provide a safe and fun learning environment promoting teamwork and camaraderie on and off the water The first day of each " Learn-to-sail" camp week, students will participate in a capsize drill to teach self-rescuing and staying with the boat.

Participants: Teens (ages 12 to 16) 115 lbs or over and over 5 ft tall. Designed for students who have completed basic "Learn-to-Sail" courses or are able to learn on larger and faster boats as both skipper and crew. The focus is on boat handling, sail trimming, and working as a team. This class works well for those that have become too big to comfortably sail in the singlehanded Dewitt sailboats. Designed to develop basic water safety skills, tack, gybe, steer and trim. Knot tying and learning the unique sailing vocabulary. Teens will also learn the basics of rounding marks and docking.
