About this camp
Develop sailing skills at JPYC Sailing School, a day program for participants aged 8-18 in Chicago, IL. Instruction covers both classroom theory and practical on-the-water experience, led by US Sailing certified instructors. Students learn on 420s, Bugs, and/or RS Feva XL sailboats, with curriculum adapted to various skill levels. This training emphasizes safety and practical application. All participants must pass a swim check (50-foot swim, tread water), and life jackets are provided. The program concludes with a sailing demonstration and awards ceremony, where parents are invited to observe the skills learned. Beyond core sailing, the curriculum incorporates STEM and nature elements relevant to maritime navigation and environmental awareness, offering a well-rounded educational experience focused on water sports.
