Your child will learn, apply, and master the knowledge and skills of boat parts, boat handling, sailing mechanics, rules of the road, boating safety, and basic navigation. In addition to all the skill sets, your child will have time to build social ties with other students at our private beach, our Wednesday pizza party, and our Friday trip to downtown Annapolis for ice cream.
Below is information to complete your child’s registration in the KidShip Sailing School and some tips to make their week as fun as possible.
- Health History Form- Maryland requires a Health History Form for each KidShip student. Please note that a new form must be completed for each student each year. If your child attended KidShip last year, a new form is still required.
- Immunization Record- Please obtain a copy of your child’s current immunization record from your child’s doctor if required.
- Medication- Students are not permitted to carry any medications. If your child takes a daily medication or has a need for an inhaler or EPIPEN, please turn these in to the director at the time of registration. Please also provide a ‘side-effect’ brief, which can be obtained from your pharmacy.
Camp hours are 9 am. until 3 pm. Registration begins at 8:30 am on the first day of camp. Please have the Health form and Immunization record for registration. The remaining days of camp sign-in begins at 8:45 am. Every child attending KidShip must be signed in and signed out by a parent or designated adult each day. If the accompanying adult is other than a parent of the child, he or she must have a note of authorization from the parent. Please note that the Lil’ Sailors program start and end times may vary slightly.
Thanks for your cooperation and we look forward to having your child with us for upcoming KidShip season!
Below you will find some
helpful hints to prepare for a week of sailing fun for your KidShipper...
1. Every child attending Kidship must be signed in and signed out by a parent or other adult every day. If the accompanying adult is other than a parent or guardian of the child, he or she must have a note of authorization from the parent.
2. KidShippers wear PFD’s (life jackets) at all times on or around the water. KidShip will provide life jackets, but if your child has his/her own that is USCG approved, comfortable and fits properly, please bring it.
3. Shoes must be worn at all times on or around the water, so please wear shoes that can get wet. Non-skid soles, aqua-socks and “Tevas” are great!
4. KidShip sails in rainy weather (unless notified), so be prepared with windbreakers, rain coats, etc. if the weather looks or calls for inclement conditions.
5. Bathing suits should be worn and pack an extra set of dry clothes if the weather is cool.
6. Bring beach towels for lunch breaks (beach and pool activities).
7. Sun block, hats, sunglasses with straps and lip balm are important for sailors with the extra effect of sun, wind and glare on the water.
8. KidShip course hours are from:
9am to 3pm for Course #505
9am to 12noon or 1pm to 4pm for Course #550
