Summer Youth Sailing Program | Community Boating Center, Inc.

Each time CBC students step into a boat, pull the tiller, or trim a sail, they are learning a meaningful lesson. Sailing encourages individuals to come together as a team and collectively overcome challenges. CBC’s ﬂagship program, Summer Youth Sailing, is designed to instill positive life values, such as trust, integrity, sound judgement and teamwork. The program is accessible to all, with ﬁnancial aid for those who quality. We do not turn anyone away because of inability to pay.

Our Classes!

Classes are held RAIN or SHINE, WIND or NO WIND! Students should come to class prepared to get wet! Our first priority is safety. We will limit on-the-water activity if we deem the conditions unsafe.

Class maximums have been designed for teaching effectiveness and safety.
