Youth Adventure Sailing: STEAM Mechanical Masterminds
Join us for a week of on-the-water fun! Sailors will explore Budd Inlet while learning the basics of sailing and investigating STEAM topics. We’ll emphasize mechanics and engineering, seeking to answer questions like: How do boats float? How do sailboats sail upwind? How is wind used as power? Sailors will get to contribute to a citizen science program! We’ll be partnering with local organizations like the Puget Sound Estuarium on projects including plastic monitoring, wind power, buoyancy and more.
Harbor Mice
Our youngest sailors will spend a week becoming comfortable around small sailboats. The goal is to have fun, and build confidence so that when they are old enough they are excited and confident to take Beginner Youth Sailing! Six and seven year old "Harbor Mice" will sail with their instructors in small groups in our double-handed dinghies that the Teen and Race sailors use. In addition to sailing, Harbor Mice play games, make sailing crafts, and learn about the marine environment of Budd Inlet.
