Programs run rain or shine, but in the event of storms, we will move to indoor classroom instruction. If the storm persists, we may schedule an early pick up. If sessions are canceled, make-up days will be offered.
Several of our instructors are US Sailing-certified with extensive experience on Marsh Creek Lake. Each year, we bring on new instructors and counselor trainees to learn the ropes.
Our Afternoon Sailing Club offers personalized learning through 1:1 counselor-to-sailor pairings. For Summer Camp, we maintain a small group setting with no more than six campers and two counselors per group.
Summer Camp is for ages 6 to 13, grouped by age so instruction matches each camper’s experience level.
Pricing starts at $300 per session. Base Camp runs Tuesday through Thursday, and an After Camp extension is available.
Every day, campers rotate through an exciting mix of sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on beautiful Marsh Creek Lake.
Full refunds are available for cancellations made by the Friday before your camp session begins. After Friday, cancellations are eligible for a partial refund of up to $100 for Base Camp, or $140 for Base Camp + After Camp.
