Cambridge Yacht Club’s Junior Sail Program gives children skills that they will use for a lifetime – sailing, boating safety, and a love of the water. Our youngest sailors learn basic sailing skills in Opti boats, and our more experienced junior sailors get the opportunity to race our newly renovated Lasers.

Our state-certified program has taught generations of Eastern Shore boys and girls how to safely enjoy the water. Your daughter, son, niece, nephew, or grandchild will make friends, learn to sail, and spend the summer enjoying the best of the Chesapeake Bay region. It is so much more than a sailing camp!
