Our introductory class for our youngest sailors (ages 5-7), this once-per-week class focuses on introducing sailing in a fun, social environment. Through this class, kids will learn general water safety rules, basic sailing knots and seamanship. The children will become familiar with understanding wind direction, boat parts, points of sail, steering and how everything works together to control a sailboat. This will be taught through on-the-water instruction as well as sailing related arts, crafts and games. Activities are designed to build confidence to sail in Optimist sailboats. During the first session each student will be given a very basic swim check while wearing a life jacket in order to assess their comfort level in the water. We encourage parents to stay at the lake and learn alongside your kids or grill out and enjoy the MYSF community!

Kinder Pram is a once-per-week session over six weeks offered either Monday or Tuesday evenings.

Recommended Ages: 5-7
