2013 Junior Week
June 9-14
Junior Week is a one-week resident sailing camp for children of club members ages eleven through eighteen. The camp focuses on sailing classes during the day but also includes fun evening activities.
Junior Week is a great value because the camp is run by volunteers. To support this effort, parents of campers are required to volunteer at least one full day per camper (or the equivalent).
