This class is for parents (or grandparents, caretakers, relatives) and their children ages five to eight. The 3-day, 9-hour program aims to introduce children to the basics of sailing in a nurturing environment so that each student develops as a sailor while making new friends and having new experiences. The course is designed for one parent (or grandparent, etc.) to sail with one child. No prior sailing experience is necessary.

Join us for the Youth Sailing Program, an exciting 5-day sailing course, where students ages 10-17 learn basic or higher level sailing on 8' Optimist Prams, 14' & 16' Capri sailboats, 14' High Performance 420 sailboats, and other sailboats. Each day will feature Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) workshops, short chalk talks, and learning activities on land and on-the-water with games, drills, and informal races on the Rondout Creek and the Hudson River. The goal is for all students to feel comfortable sailing and to become capable, safe, basic sailors. Students with prior sailing experience will benefit by expanding and building on their current skillset.
Tuition: $500 - $550 Discounts available for HRMM Members. Additional discounts are available for second, and subsequent, weeks and for sibling registrations. Please check back for our 2024 Dates. |
