Here’s how the schedule works:
Regular Class Sessions
There are seven regular sessions that each run for one week, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Each of these regular class sessions is just $195. Registering is as simple as selecting the week (or weeks) you would like to attend, and then deciding on the type of boat and course level for the class.
Racing Camp
A special racing camp will be offered June 28 – July 9. This camp is open to any young athlete but some experience, or completion of a regular SCSS class, is recommended. Sailors attending this camp will be coached over five days (June 28, 29, 30, July 7, 8) in boathandling, boatspeed, and tactics plus will be introduced to the rules of racing. Those attending this camp will also participate in two TCYS regattas: July 2 on Lake Minnetonka and July 9 on the St. Croix.
What Boat to Choose?
We use two types of boats: Optimist dinghies and Club 420s. Though there is overlap between the boats, smaller, lighter kids tend to prefer the Opti’s and older, heavier kids tend to prefer the 420. Please know that your boat selection on the registration form is not necessarily final – we will move kids to a different boat if we think that will provide a better experience and better learning opportunity.
What Level is My Young Sailor?
We try to organize classes with students of similar ability and experience. Your indication of beginning, intermediate, or advanced will help us plan our initial class groups but we will move students as necessary to ensure they are within groups that they find comfortable yet challenging.
Sign Up for More Than One Week
Many of our students return for successive weeks – it’s a great way to continue building skills and friendships. Students will advance as their comfort and skills allow.
The Final Step
Print the registration form, fill it out, and mail it in. Act early to get the weeks you want!
