Announcing Our Spring 2024 Schedule

Building off of all of the fun experiences last year introducing youth to sailing, we’re excited to announce our schedule for this spring. If you are interested in joining our Maritime Explorer Club or our Sea Scouts Ship, we hope you’ll drop by one or both of our upcoming ‘Windy Warm-Ups’ in March and April to learn more about these programs. Click on either button below to learn more about the program and RSVP!

More importantly, we’ll be holding our official sign-up night at 1800 on 15MAY24 at the Sailing Center. While more information regarding the meeting and paperwork required to get your scout signed up for either of our groups, we hope you’ll circle this date in your calendar. It’s important that we are able to sign up the minimum amount of Scouts for each group at this meeting to ensure that each group can become official Boy Scouts of America units. Plus, your Scout will have all the bragging rights of being one of the unit’s plankowners!

Finally, what’s all this talk and paperwork good for if we don’t get to get out on some boats and try our hand at them? Assuming we get the requisite number of members for the Club and the Ship, they’ll begin meeting on a weekly basis each Wednesday in conjunction with the Friends of Yellow Creek’s ‘Windy Wendesdays’ community sail program. Does your Scout have to attend every Wednesday? No, but we think they’ll definitely miss the days they aren’t able to make it!

Spring Sailing is coming …

Is that Punxy Phil heading down College Lodge road to the see if we’ve uncovered the sailboats yet?

The ice has cleared from Yellow Creek Lake. In the coming weeks, we’ll announce details on our March and April warm-up events. Youth and their parents will get a taste of hands-on learning–perhaps rigging a sailboat or mastering those classic sailing knots. And you’ll have the chance to learn about the Explorer and Sea Scout program.

Check back in a few weeks. Better yet, complete our online interest form so we can keep you informed of dates and opportunities.
