Classes – Youth Learn to Sail

The mission of Junior Learn to Sail is to provide high quality boating safety programs for the community through education, recreation and competition. Learn to Sail develops the love of sailing in young people by making boats, time and expertise available while teaching proper boat handling, good sportsmanship, and encouraging innovation in all aspects of sailing.

Grab your friends and join us for our great 2026 summer Learn to Sail program. Please register early as classes usually fill quickly. No experience required. Boys and Girls ages 8-18 will be sailing their own sailboat. Our head coach will show you how easy it is to “Learn to Sail”. Boys and Girls do equally well in this sport.
Morning or afternoon classes, running 8:15am to noon or 1:00pm to 4:45pm, Monday through Friday

Partial scholarships available on an expressed need basis supported by a grant from the Stockton Sailing Foundation
