Open Sail Camp (Ages 7 to 16)

Times: Monday-Thursday 1 pm-4 pm. Check calendar on web site for weeks offered.
Program Cost: $150 Members/$190 Non-Members

Sailboats used: Opti, Sunfish and 420

In recognition of the number of families that vacation at Diamond Lake around the fourth of July this new class is being offered to encourage youth sailing on the lake. All classes are  focused on fun and social interchange as opposed to strictly racing. In this class, youth sailors learn the skills to sail an Opti, sunfish single handed or a 420, a two-person boat, with another sailor.  They will interact with the instructors both on the water and classroom. On shore they will be taught how to correctly rig their sailboat , launch and then sail the craft. Our young sailors can take this class multiple times and will be divided based on skill levels while working with the instructors to improve their sailing abilities.

All students will always wear life jackets.  Instructors, either in the student's boat or on a safety boat, accompany the students.  All instructors are experienced sailors.  All have learned to sail in the DLYC Sailing School.

The DLYC is offering a limited number of scholarships for youths who need financial assistance to attend. Please contact Louis Csokasy at lrcsokasy@comcast.net or Jackie Comeau Bankowski at jcmgm@aol.com
