2021 Summer Sailing

Summer Sailing Programme - 7+
We're thrilled to be running a Summer Sailing Programme again this year. Currently we are limited in camp size due to Bermuda Government restrictions and you will find not all classes are offered every week. If we are able to add in additional classes will let you know here! We ask that you waitlist for the session you are interested in as we are able to accomodate most children on the waitlist. Feel free to drop us a line if you need more information!

Sea Squirts (5 & 6)
The Sea Squirt programme is back after a break in 2020. So far we've only been able to schedule 4 weeks of the programme for 2021 due to Bermuda Government Covid restrictions. We've shortened the day for this group and now it runs 9 - 3pm.
