This camp is built upon the foundations of Sailing 1. In this camp all are expected to understand the basics of sailing so that we may increase skill levels.

On Thursday, weather permitting we will have an all day sail that will take the entire Sailing Camp from the western end of the lake to the eastern end. It is a long, exhilarating day of using all aspects of sailing knowledge and physical endurance. This traditional event has been a confidence builder for 20 years. In addition to the sailing, prayer, Bible study, fellowship, a campfire for spiritual reflection and fun will highlight the week. We begin on Sunday at 4:00 and conclude on Friday at 4:00pm. Prerequisite: Sailing 1, or a conversation about ability and sailing experience with Rev. Tom Ostrander. Looking forward to seeing you in camp.
