Sailing is a family sport. Here's how to get your kids on the water with us.
For parents
Not right now. We don't have a youth sailing program at either lake, Lake Decatur or Clinton Lake.
But there's a great way to get your kids sailing with us: you learn first, then you take them out.
Looking for a youth program?
If you're serious about a youth sailing program for your kids, visit these two clubs. We highly recommend their programs.
How families sail with us
Start with our free online courses, then get on the water with experienced sailors who are happy to teach.
Once you qualify, you can check out club boats, like our fast and thrilling Hobie 14 Turbo. See how on the Cruise page.
Take out friends and family, kids included, and show them the ropes yourself.
Every Saturday
Our club hosts Sea Leg Saturdays every week all season long at CDYC. Bring the family along. More experienced sailors are there to help you every step of the way, from rigging the boat to getting back to the dock.
We don't place minors on boats with coaches or instructors. Your kids sail with you, on your boat, or on our boat that you checked out.
Help us grow
Nothing would make us happier than seeing more kids sailing. What we don't have yet is a volunteer youth sailing coordinator. If you'd like to step into that role, we'll support you. Send us a message below and let's talk.
