Session 1 will culminate on Family Day with swimming and sailing exhibitions, races and awards. Session 2 will finish with Family Night & perpetual awards. We encourage all AYC families to enroll their children or grandchildren in what will be, for many, the beginning of wonderful lifelong memories and friendships.

 

Molly Doyle is our new Director of Sailing with day to day responsibility for the program.  We will have a new crop of excited sailing instructors to blend with our experienced returnees. We will continue to provide excellent sailing instruction, while focusing on the safety of our program, and integrate new ways to stimulate the campers and provide the foundation for a lifelong love of sailing. 

 

Hana Rineer is the Director of Arts & Crafts.  She has developed many fun projects for our younger participants.

 

Program details may be found in our registration packet which is posted on our website and available at our clubhouse.  AYC Youth & Sailing Guidelines will be mailed to program registrants.
