Youth Sail Camps
The Greater Richmond Sailing Association on Swift Creek Reservoir offers the chance to enter the exciting sport of sailing. Future sailors ages 8-16 can come out for the first time or come back to further enhance their skills. These one-week camps are taught by U.S. Sailing certified instructors. This adventure-based program promotes leadership, self-confidence, sportsmanship, safety awareness and respect for others. Important: Students must be able to pass a swim test consisting of swimming 50 feet unaided. While on the water all campers must wear a well-fitted Coast Guard approved Type III personal flotation device (PFD). High school students can earn PE credits in Chesterfield County and Richmond City for these camps (please ask your school’s guidance department for details if interested). Registrants will be emailed forms before the start of the course. *Bring completed forms to class on the first morning and turn in to your instructor!
