Sailing Camp

Onset Bay Center Camps

A week in our full day Sailing Camp is filled with sailing adventures as we explore Onset Bay together!

A great option for beginners and experienced sailors alike, our full day Sailing program offers group lessons aboard our sailboats. Learn the basics of sailing or build upon previous experience as you hone your skills on our fleet of sailboats, specifically designed for training. Take your summer adventure to the next level as you become more comfortable and knowledgeable about sailing! Coaching, delivered by highly qualified instructors, includes sailing skills, parts of the boat, rigging, capsize recovery, basic navigation, knots, and more! It is intended to provide the opportunity for discovery, learning, and play in a dynamic nautical environment. In addition to nautical skills, the program encourages children to develop characteristics such as teamwork, self-reliance, and responsibility through activities on and off the water.
