FUN is number 1, and all instruction is presented in an enjoyable, low key, non-competitive style which makes learning easy. We begin each day at 9am and the full five day schedule offers plenty of time for practicing newly acquired skills, such as navigation and chart reading. Kids will be on the water all day and experience the thrill of planning a sailing expedition to a picnic lunch, participating in an informal fun regatta, and topping off the week with a group sail into Annapolis Harbor for an ice cream treat! Lunch can be purchased at the marina or kids can bring it with them. Other activities include swimming, volleyball and relaxing at our safe beach front location. Although we furl our sails and put the boats away at 3pm, our qualified staff is available for extended day care to assist working parents with their tight schedules.
