Summer Sailing

The CBYC Summer Program features four two- week long day camps beginning at the end of June and finishing at the end of August. We offer multiple classes to meet the needs of the participants ranging from beginner to advanced from the ages of 8-18 years. The emphasis is on teaching the basics and more advanced techniques of sailing through small classes and lots of fun. Program enrollment is limited, and all applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis so make sure to sign up for the session you want early to insure that you save a spot!
