Joel Shannon Summer Sailing Camp

The Joel Shannon Summer Sailing Camp was founded 18 years ago in memory of Joel Shannon, a local sailor with an interest in seeing young people involved in the sport of sailing. We aim to introduce children aged 8 to 15 to basic small boat sailing, safety and sportsmanship.

Camp Staff

 All camp instructors are US Sailing certified sailing instructors or certified sailing assistants.

The camp teaches in the US Sailing format and strives to provide top quality instruction, since the first experiences of a new sailor form memories which last a lifetime.
