For Adaptive Youth Sailors
There are two programs, adaptive equipment is provided to those with physical challenges and adaptive instruction is tailored to children with cognitive challenges:
Summer Youth Sailing (SYS) program: for children ages 10-17, students will be integrated into the program with their same-age peers to learn basic sailing skills. The program is absolutely free for all youth sailors and gives children the opportunity not only to learn to sail but to meet new friends and enjoy the youth program's weekly island trips.
The Harbor Explorer program: for children ages 7-14, students will be integrated into the program with their same-age peers to learn about harbor ecology. Students will spend time at the harbors edge with the Save the Harbor/Save the Bay organization catching wildlife and learning the importance of preserving the environment.Click here to visit the youth program page.
