River Rats offers summer training sessions for young people interested in sailing. Training is available for boys and girls with sailing skills ranging from beginner through intermediate, and advanced/racing. Every class includes students with no sailing experience so don't worry if your student is a first time sailor.
Boats are provided at no extra cost, but students may also use his/her own approved boat.
Classes consist of up to 25 students. We target a 6 to 1 student to instructor ratio. Many of our instructors have their Level 1 certifications. In addition, we employ an adult program supervisor who is a school teacher and remains on-site throughout the day. Students will be divided into 3 groups based upon skill level so they receive the optimal experience. It is highly recommended to sign up for at least 2 classes, both in the same session or in separate sessions. We feel this provides a better learning experience than only attending 1 class. See Junior Sailing Program for more details.
