NERYC's
summer 'Learn
To Sail' camp and
Bay
Racer program for kids follows universally accepted methods of
teaching sailing and operates within the guidelines prescribed by
us sailing.
Our training
fleet consists of Optimists, Lasers,
Topaz Unos, Flying Juniors and Club 420 dinghies.
Learning, safety and fun are the
cornerstones of our
curriculum and our young sailors are taught
using a combination of lectures, visual aids, practical drills and
extensive on the water practice at our facility, which is a convenient
commute for residents of Northern Maryland and surrounding the tri-state
areas.
Beginners learn the
basics, intermediate sailors build their competence in boat handling and sail trim and are introduced to
the fundamentals of
racing. Advanced sailors perfect their skills
and build their competence by working on advanced boat handling and sail trim, as well as
developing their knowledge of the rules and tactics of racing. At this
level sailors become eligible to join our travel team and compete in
regional sailing regattas. Our young sailors have a such a great
time
at camp that many spend their entire summer with
us and return year after year (see
reviews).
Sessions fill quickly so early
registration is essential.
