COVID-19 Programming Update

Safe, Fun, Learning is the cornerstone for CBC’s mission. We strive to offer a safe environment for kids- socially, emotionally, and physically – built around fun engaging activities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to make drastic changes to our programming in order to uphold these core tenets. The coming weeks are largely unpredictable, but our staff at CBC are following the most up to date CDC and state guidelines to provide programming. We will be sure to update our website with any new information as we receive it. Thank you for supporting the Community Boating Center, and we hope to see you this summer!

Summer Youth Sailing Program

The Community Boating Center summer youth sailing program is underway! So far, we have had two weeks of open enrollment and have seen lots of smiling faces! Our sailing and windsurfing sessions are currently full, however, we will probably add spots before the end of the season, so we encourage you to sign up for our waitlist. There is NO FEE to be on the waitlist, so don’t let that stop you from signing up! When spots open up, we will give you a call.

Pods

We will be reducing our student numbers to follow state guidelines. Participants will be assigned into Pods

    • Pod size will be determined by state regulations
    • Pods will not interact with each other
    • Pods will remain with the same instructors throughout the session
    • Each pod will have their own facility and classroom.
