Advanced Summer Sea Camp 2024

Advanced Summer Sea Camp is a day camp starting and ending at the Spaulding Marine Center. Campers will spend the majority of the day learning more advanced sailing theory in our fleet of Pelican sailing boats. The advanced camps are designed for older campers, more experienced sailors, and those interested in becoming junior camp counselors the following summer.

Campers will cover the same content as the regular camps, but also cover safety topics, navigation, communication, and rescue procedures in more depth.

The regular campers will learn sailing skills from 2-3 instructors, including knots, sail trim, navigation, safety at sea, and maritime history of the area. Emphasis is placed on stewardship of the bay, learning through play, and hands-on participation. Activities may also include games at the park, kayaking, oceanography lessons, beach cleanups, and boat rides aboard one of our historic vessels. 

The advanced camp is also a great option for campers interested in doing wood working only, or learning more advanced wood working techniques. For this option, reach out to confirm!
