Sign-ups start in April 2009.  Watch this website or call the Y for info on the first day to sign up.  Camps have filled fast in past years.

The winds are typically more gentle in the morning, making learning to sail easy and a lot more fun.  That's why camps are scheduled early in the day.  But the back bay is shallow, so the tide has to be high enough for sailing in the morning.  That's why only two camps will be offered this summer.

Occasionally-live WEBCAM (Maybe see us during camp hours.)
