We can’t wait to meet you and show you how awesome and fun sailing is! We have been working hard throughout the years to come up with new and exciting events and activities for this summer. For those who are a little nervous about coming to sailing camp, don’t be! We are here to make sailing camp the best thing you’ll do all summer! We will get you to feel comfortable on and off the water around boats.
Our Youth Learn to Sail Program, on beautiful Datça, is a unique summer sailing program for children ages 8-16. Our program runs weekly periods throughout the summer. No sailing or boating experience is necessary to join the program. All participants, however, must be comfortable swimming while wearing a personal flotation device (PFD or Lifejacket).
Through a combination of games, on land activities and on water drills, program participants follow the TUYEP curriculum and work towards nationally recognized TSF certification. We provide qualified coaches that are fully also trained and certified by TSF. All of our staff hold certification in first aid, powerboat operation, boat rescue, life saving, and coaching theory.
FOR PARENTS
We are thrilled that you have decided to enroll your child into our sailing program. Learning to sail is a great life skill and something that can be enjoyed and pursued throughout one’s life. Our trained and licensed sailing instructors understand the concerns you may have as a parent allowing your child to explore new and exciting experiences.
