Whether you are just learning to sail or trying to qualify for the US National Team, we will have a camp for you!!!

Regardless of your child’s time on the water and experience level, there’s a program that’s just right for them at ETYSA. Those new to sailing start in INTRODUCTION TO SAILING. If they attend future sessions or have prior experience, they can attend one of the more advanced courses. Each course starts on a Monday and runs through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Our Coaches are either certified United States Coast Guard, US Sailing Level I, II, and III.  They are also Red Cross First Aid/CPR, Stop the Bleed, and Safe Sport certified. Instructors are supported by a team of local sailing volunteers.
