SOUTHERN YOUTH SAILING PROGRAMSWe’re proud to present SOUTHWINDSmagazine’s second annual directoryof youth sailing programs in the Southeast.This is a list of youth sailing instructionfor ages up through 18. We are printing it inthis issue as many of them expand summerprograms while school is out, and manyprograms require advanced enrollment asthey are limited in size. Many programs,especially in Florida, are year around, butoperate only during the weekends orevenings when school is in session.The diversity of programs listed hereis amazing. The usual summer camp lastingone or two weeks is well representedamong our listings. Sailing camps areheavy on teaching basic sailing skills, andthe larger programs have phased instructionto teach intermediate and racing skills to those withskills beyond the introductory level. Several camps andprograms have added “adventure” or “exploration” sailingto let the kids explore areas such as Biscayne Bay onsailboats. It is a parallel path to racing for the intermediateand competent youth sailor. Other camps such as those atRollins and Eckerd colleges offer sailing as one of a numberof other customizable choices that students may spendtime doing in a daily camp routine.Those programs called “camps” generally do not meana camp where a youth will go and live, but some do. Mostof the “camps” listed here are not live-in.Because of space limitations, we have listed the bare minimumof information to include them all. We will post moreinformation on our Web site. Some programs have not yetbeen finalized, and they are not posted on their Web sites.We have attempted to include only those programs opento the general public and not those open only to children ofclub members, which is the case at some yacht clubs.More scholarships are available than those listed, and werecommend contacting the organization for more information.We hope that all sailing programs listed here have certifiedinstructors (the two certifying organizations are US SAIL-ING and the American Sailing Association – ASA), insuranceand established safety programs. The certifying organizationshave safety standards that they require for certification. Weurge everyone to verify these items for themselves.Photo by Roy Laughlin.This list was not intended to be a list of details but a listof opportunities available, and it is up to the parent, youthor friend to find out more information.The following list includes programs in the sevenSouthern coastal states that SOUTHWINDS is distributed in:North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,Mississippi, and Louisiana.
