Camp! Not just for kids --- Women's Sailing Camp at HYC

[lwisehou]

It is ladies' camp time again at HYC!  The women-teaching-women format is an excellent and fun way to learn more on the water with an emphasis on maximum tiller-time for all campers.  Camp also makes a great gift for someone you'd like to introduce to sailing.

The Windward Bound Sailing Camp for Women is June 2 ? 5 at the Houston Yacht Club.  The overnight camp is open to all women who are 21 years or older.

Windward Bound Sailing Camp is a great opportunity to learn, expand and enhance your knowledge and skills in sailing, according to Patty Ward, HYC member and camp co-director.

The camp is for those new to sailing, those who are familiar with the sport but want to expand their knowledge and skills and for the experienced sailor who wants to race competitively.

The camp format is residential, experiential, concentrated and objective-oriented and features small group instruction with individualized attention.  The counselors are accomplished women sailors with years of experience in cruising, racing and teaching other women to sail.

The camp is broken down into two categories to include:

Force 1: Introductory - Beginning sailors learn practical skills to improve self-confidence and enable them to crew on a daysailer (Ensigns) and single-hand a Sunfish.

Force II: Intermediate and Advanced - Sailors with basic skills expand skills and knowledge to enable them to skipper as well as crew on J22s and Sunfish.

The cost of the camp is $650 for non-HYC members. Camp costs include room and board, camp shirt, instruction and boat usage.  Space is limited so register early.  Registration deadline is April 15.
