North East, MD -- North East River Yacht Club has announced its weekly "Learn to Sail" sessions will be held from June 13 through August 8 this summer. The club offers a weekly summer camp program for junior sailors, ages 7-18. The program encourages young sailors to experience the joy of sailing and teaches the essential elements of boat handling, seamanship, water safety skills, and racing in a safe and fun environment.
Camps are held Monday through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The club’s fleet of Sunfish, Lasers and Optimist dinghys allow a great deal of hands-on training in the sheltered waters of the Northeast River. Sailors are also welcome to bring and use their own boat. The program offers instruction at all levels -- beginners, intermediate, and advanced racing.
Instructors are CPR and First Aid certified, and hold U.S. Sailing Instructor certification. Sailing camp fees are $100 per week for NERYC members, and $160 per week for non-members.
The NERYC web site (www.NERYC.com) has full program details and application forms. Supervised care is available from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To maintain a quality program, participation is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
