YSF Community Sailing offers a Summer Sailing Camp that combines the sailing expertise of YSF with our expansive waterfront. Located under the 17th Street bridge, we offer the perfect venue for beginner and intermediate sailors, with protected coves and expansive waterways in the Indian River Lagoon, as well as a comfortable teaching space for chalk talks, lunch, and games.

With limited enrollment your sailor will receive closely supervised instruction in a safe and fun atmosphere.

Beginner Camp

Life Jackets

It is required that ALL sailors AT ALL TIMES on the water wear an adequate personal flotation device (PFD – proper name for life jacket). This life jacket (PFD) needs to be a brightly colored, Coast Guard approved, Type III or better with no collar that can get caught on the boat rigging. Type V inflatable life jackets should NOT be used in this course. PFDs are sold by the child’s weight. If you plan to purchase your own, be sure it is the proper size! A whistle should be attached with a line to the life jacket and the child’s name should be written on the life jacket.

West Marine, Wal-Mart or dive shops are all good sources for these. Your child may borrow one of our PFD's if you do not plan to purchase a personal PFD before camp.
