Registration is now OPEN for the 2010 Junior Sailing Camp at AYC !
Junior Summer Sailing Camp
The Austin Yacht Club summer sailing camp is a week-long day camp that provides 8-16+ year olds an introduction to sailing, boat handling, knots and rigging, and water safety. The camp runs from 9:00AM to 5:00PM every day, with drop-off beginning at 8:00 and pick-up no later than 6:00.
The training combines chalk-talks and drills with lots of time spent on the water. The Club owns fleets of Optimist Dinghies, Lasers, FJs, and windsurfers that are available for the campers to sail. Fridays consist of a short fun regatta, water tag, or some other competitive drill with a pizza lunch and cake and ice cream to celebrate the end of the week’s session.
Camp costs will be the same as last year - $400 per week for non-members, $350/week for members, and $50 off for additional children enrolled. There are currently five sessions planned for the summer camp:
- Five sessions (All Sessions are still accepting applications)
- Session No. 1 - June 7-11
- Session No. 2 - June 14-18
- Session No. 3 - June 21-25
- Session No. 4 - June 28-July 2
- Session No. 5 - July + depending on demand and staff availability
