Instructor-In-Training Sailing Camp Designed for Ages 14-17 with sailing experience.

Your camper will be enrolled in the U.S. Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification course-the industry’s best-taught by our certified instructors. This camp incorporates the following activities: boat orientation and safety overview, on-the-water sailing instruction, classroom material discussions, and test review. At the end of camp, campers will walk away with a solid understanding of sailing. 

Upon successful completion of the on-the-water practical test and the written test, campers will receive U.S. Basic Keelboat certification and the opportunity to volunteer/intern with us to continue their path to becoming an instructor. 

Note: This is for students interested in becoming sailing instructors and fine-tuning their skills. Sailing experience and/or past Sail Voyagers camp attendee required to participate in Instructor-In-Training Camp.
