Atlantic Yachting: Youth Summer Sailing Program

Regardless of whether you choose a one-week, two-week or intermediate session, it’s our goal to share our love of the water with your children and introduce them to a skill that can create a lifetime of memories. Kids learn to sail in an exciting, supportive, and safe environment, and leave our program with invaluable life skills both on and off the water.

Kids ages 9-15 learn to trim sails, tie knots and man the helm aboard modern sailboats. Our sailing curriculum, combined with our team and self esteem building activities, help young sailors to build confidence, bolster self-reliance, and fulfill their inner potential – and have tons of fun while doing it!

Our curriculum was developed with three things in mind – learning, fun and safety. Tailored to NYC waters, we have come up with an ideal program to support growth and adventure in an environment in which children can feel secure and confident.The camp is designed as a two-week program, however participants can join for as little as one week and as much as an entire summer.

While we have tailored the program to those campers that are still relatively new to sailing, we welcome and encourage more advanced sailors to join. Because sailing is a team effort, both novice and seasoned sailors will advance their sailing skills under the trained guidance of our excellent staff.
