The Sailing & Science Camp program pairs a half day of discovery science and exploration with a half day of sailing. Campers are split in half by age and one group spends the morning with our science staff while the other sails. (Your camper will be in a group with other kids their age!) The two groups swap at lunch.
During science class campers may travel to Strong Island to explore marine habitats, observe wildlife on our cranberry bog nature walks, conduct classroom experiments, play games, and enjoy a trip on our floating classroom, the Friend. On the water, they will be sailing, kayaking and rowing, rigging boats and more.
On the water campers will be sailing in Flying Scot sailboats and learning basic sailing skills. Topics covered will be safety on the water, reading the wind, parts of the boat and sail, rigging, mooring procedures, steering, tacking and jibing.
