​Youth Sailing Program - Join us for one or more of our six exciting week-long sailing programs, where students aged 9-17 learn the basics of sailing on 8' Optimist Prams and other sailboats. Each day will feature short "chalk talks," and brief learning activities on land and lots of on-the water instruction with games, drills, and informal races on the Rondout Creek and the Hudson River. The class is open to all levels, from beginner to more experienced sailors.

The goal is for all students to feel comfortable and to become capable, safe basic sailors.  Because each week will consist of mixed ages and experience levels, our U.S. Sailing certified instructors will adapt the program to match the needs of the students. Intermediate and advanced sailors will be encouraged to sail more challenging boats and learn higher level skills. 
​Tuition: $475 General Public; Discounts for HRMM Members.
