KinderSail
​(Ages 4-7)

​Got an excited youngster who's eager to get on the water but can't quite fill the boots it takes to be on their own boat? KinderSail might be just right for them! Sailors can sign up for three days of sailing with experienced captains to get used to the feel of the wind in their hair! Participants will show up at the Washburn Marina and put out to sea with one of our experienced captains and a first mate! Participants should be able to handle themselves on a moving platform without falling over, and must have a keen hunger for adventure. Pirate garb and eye-patches not provided, but encouraged.

Monday-Wednesday (1:00pm-2:30pm)
Session 1: June 27-29 - FULL (no spots remaining)
Session 2: July 11-13 - FULL (no spots remaining)
Session 3: July 25-27 - FULL (no spots remaining)
Session 4: August 15-17 - FULL (no spots remaining)
