Youth Keelboat Sailing Program (Ages 14 - 18)
 
Northern Breezes Sailing School has expanded its youth program to include keelboat sessions located at Shorewood Yacht Club. This is a unique opportunity for older students to sail larger boats on Lake Minnetonka.  Sessions are half days from
1 - 4 PM.  Previous Medicine Lake campers can attend this camp before turning 14 upon review of their sailing skills.

The Ensign cockpit is large and roomy for several young folks to sail and have fun. Our Ensigns are equipped with roller furling genoas and mainsails with topping lifts for ease of sailing. 

Students will have the opportunity to crew and skipper one of our 23’ keelboats.  This is a great course for those who have completed the Medicine Lake Youth Camp and also for those who are new to sailing.  Skills and knowledge will be built upon throughout the week to continually challenge students and their abilities.  Instruction will range from basic sail trim and steering to flying a spinnaker while sailing downwind.

Four teen sailors sail downwind in Ensign.

Sailing games, fun competitions and other on the water activities will make sure that students have a good time  while learning the fundamentals of sailing.  The main goal of the program is to have fun while learning how to sail. 


At the end of the course, students will have completed all of the necessary requirements to receive their ASA Basic Keelboat certificate. This will allow students to take additional courses through Northern Breezes or other ASA certified schools. 

Students are encouraged to sign up for more than one session as the additional practice will make them better sailors. A discount of $25 will be given to multiple week students. Special dates and times are possible.  Please call the office for more information.

We are able to make special arrangements for groups of 3 or more.
