โœจCAMPER SHOUTOUTSโœจ

This year at sail camp we began a challenge by choice merit system for campers! Campers that chose to participate had the opportunity to earn ranks at camp after mastering a certain set of skills. We have 4 ranks a camper can earn - Deck Cadet, Chief Mate, Deck Officer, and Captain.

Each rank encompasses various skills that deal with terminology, knots, sailing maneuvers, and lesson plans campers have to master before they can move on to the next level. These are skills we teach following US Sailing curriculum for small boat handling, teaching campers on Optis, Sunfish, and C420s.

This is a dedicated process that requires campers to fine tune skills, and stay committed to learning. It can take multiple summers and sessions to achieve all 4 ranks. This summer we had 33 campers achieve the rank of Deck Cadet, and 4 campers achieve the rank of Chief Mate! We are so proud of their hard work and dedication!!
