This is a fun, introductory sailing session using a "quick-start" method of learning to sail Hobbies® Wave catamarans. In a short period of time students, ages 8 to 99, participating in our introductory sailing lesson are out on the waters of Green Bay sailing on their own. On days where there is no wind, you may have the opportunity to experience kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. For those days when our staff has to make the decision that the weather outside simply isn't safe to be on the water, your class will be moved into our indoor classroom where you will enjoy several sailing-related activities. We encourage individual growth by challenging one’s self all while fostering a love for the water and sailing. We look forward to enjoying a fun and safe day on the water with you!
This program is designed for a family of four (4) participants. We understand that family can mean many different things so yes if your neighbor down the street is family to you we consider them family and part of your group.
