SAILING CAMPS

Sailing Camps held at Olympia Community Sailing, 201 Simmons Street NW, Olympia 98501

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!

Harbor Mice is for 6-7 year olds, the “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.

Youth Beginner Sailing

Join us for a fun-filled week on the water! Sailors will hop in a boat and learn the basics of sailing and seamanship while exploring the waters of Budd Inlet.

This beginner’s sailing class is for youth ages 8-12 that have never sailed, or want to refresh their skills before moving on to an intermediate class. Sailors are taught in Optimist (Opti) dinghies, an 8-footlong single-person sailboat.

Teen Beginner Sailing

Join us for a week on the water learning the basics of sailing and seamanship. Teens will learn how to properly rig, and sail their boat alongside a friend.

For teens ages 13-18 that have never sailed before, or want to refresh their basic sailing skills. Sailors are taught in 420 dinghies, a 420cm long (14 ft) two-person sailboat. Instructors are Alumni of the High School Sailing Team, and cater to the older age in the class.
