MYC Youth Sailing Program – Our Mission
We’re here to give kids a great time on the water while learning to sail safely and confidently. Our goal is to spark a lifelong love of sailing, teach solid skills, and help young sailors grow through teamwork, responsibility, and respect for each other, their gear, and the ocean. With a mix of fun, challenge, and guidance from experienced instructors, we help students become capable sailors with a strong sense of self and good sportsmanship.
Youth Ages 9-13 years
