Junior's Camp Frequently Asked Questions


Level One: Adventure and Learn to Sail Camp 

This program has been developed as a great way for participants to learn the sport of sailing. Participants will learn the basics of sailing on our access dinghy fleet. These two person, non-capsizable dinghies are a perfect way for anyone to learn how to sail. They are a fun and easy way to get out on the water on your very first day.


Keelboat Option:

The second option for learn to sail is on the DSC keelboats! It is a great way for past dinghy participants to enhance their knowledge of sailing on our keelboats! 

Participants will also engage in numerous off the water activities from group games to sailing focused projects. Each week will have a different adventure theme so have your sailors check out the fun over the whole summer.

Level Three: Junior Instructor Training Camp 

(only two, two week sessions available; ages 13-17)

Perquisites: Level One and Level Two experience

This program will help more advanced sailors develop the skills they would need to become junior instructors. Participants would not only learn to sail but they would also take the US Sailing Powerboating class and receive their powerboating certificate. This certificate will allow them to operate any powerboat in the state of Maryland.

Part of the camp will be dedicated to the Powerboating course. Students will head out and test their high speed skills out on the water on the Chesapeake Bay. They will also spend classroom time learning the importance of boater safety.

The camp will also be dedicated to intense sail instruction where participants would learn how to be sailing assistants. They will participate in on the water drills, practices and shadow an instructor who is teaching the level one course.
