Background Information
Benefits of Learning to Sail
Sailing is an incredible experience that has lifelong value and rewards for kids. Consider sailing lessons and camps as you plan your child’s summer activities.
1. Time outdoors: Sailing is an ideal way to disconnect from everyday distractions.
2. Confidence builder: Sailing teaches independence and promotes self-confidence. It brings kids out of their comfort zones and encourages them to trust themselves.”
3. Spatial awareness: Steering and maneuvering a vessel teaches kids to be aware of their surroundings and how to react to things in front of them.
4. Sense of direction: Sailing teaches geographic awareness as kids begin to understand wind direction and how to use a compass.
5. Lifetime Sport: Sailing is unique because, unlike many other sports, it doesn’t strain the body or require expertise to enjoy. It’s a lifelong skill that can be enjoyed regardless of physical ability, age, or skill level.
6. Fun! Sailors love making friends, doing fun activities on the water, and learning new skills.
