First Mates and Afternoon Adventures are an introductory program designed to introduce children ages 5-7 to sailing, and to help them learn to be comfortable on boats and in the water. We offer a morning session, First Mates, that runs from 9 am to 12 pm, followed by an afternoon session, Afternoon Adventures from 1 pm to 4 pm.
Students will sail with an instructor on board, and participate in land and water based activities that will teach them the basics of sailing, safety, and seamanship. Sessions may also include kayaking or stand up paddleboarding. Activities will include knots, parts of the boat, nautical crafts, beachcombing, crabbing, games and adventures on land and by water. All water activities will be dependent on weather as it can get quite windy and safety is our #1 priority. Participants are NOT required to do the swim check.
Children must be 5 years old before the class date. Classes are limited to 10 participants. *Cannot combine morning and afternoon sessions in the same week, no exceptions.*
Please register one child per form.
Cost:
$150/child/week for children of members
$200/child/week for grandchildren of members and guests (includes Limited Member Fee)
