What is Summer Camp?

Sail Marsh Creek Summer Camp is a fun, active outdoor program where kids ages 6 to 13 spend their mornings on and around the water. Campers rotate through sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding each day, learning new skills and building confidence with every session.

On land, campers enjoy group games like capture the flag, frisbee, and sponge tag between water rotations. Campers are grouped by age so activities and instruction are tailored to each group's experience level.

All water activities are led by US Sailing certified instructors who bring patience, energy, and expertise to every session. Whether your child is a first-time paddler or a returning sailor, there is something for everyone at camp.

Policies & FAQ

What happens in bad weather?

Light rain does not stop camp activities. In the event of storms, campers move to indoor activities. If camp must be cancelled, families are notified before 8 AM. Make-up days are scheduled on Mondays and Fridays.

What is the refund policy?

Full refunds are available if requested by end of day Friday before your session begins. After that, the maximum refund is $100 for base camp or $140 for camp with the extension.

What happens on the first day?

Arrive at 8:30 AM for check-in. Staff will collect any remaining paperwork, fit your camper for a life jacket, and assign them to their age group. From there, the fun begins.

How are age groups organized?

Campers ages 6 through 13 are grouped by age. This ensures activities, instruction, and watercraft assignments are appropriate for each group's experience and development level.

How does lunch work?

Lunch is broken into three periods by group. Each camper should bring a bagged lunch labeled with their name. Refrigeration is available on site. There is also a snack bar where campers can purchase additional food and drinks.
