Concord Sailing Center Sail Camp Applications
If you have already read the instructions you may proceed directly to sign in a camper Sail Camp 2008 is just a few weeks away! Concord Sailing Center (CSC), the non-profit sail training organization of the Concord Yacht Club, would like to invite all our friends back for a great summer of sailing. Please fill out the registration forms as soon as possible to reserve a place in the program. To maintain the highest quality of instruction possible, there is a limit to the number of camper that we can accept for each session and must consider applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. (Note: CYC members' children and grandchildren are given registration priority until April 15th). So do not delay sending the application the dates for this summer's sessions are:
We are offering four one-week sessions. All sessions will be similar in format, and each session will be held Monday through Friday. There will be a regatta for the advanced and intermediate sailors on Friday late afternoon of the first two sessions. There will be a Big Boat Ride on Wednesdays of sessions 3 and 4. A cook out will be held at the ends of sessions 2 and 4. As always, the Concord Sailing Center is excited about organizing Sail Camp. Our nationally recognized program has been going strong since 1993. Our goal of providing a fun and safe environment where the kids of our community can learn to sail could not have been accomplished without the many great volunteers. As our program has grown, we have relied on volunteers to help keep the cost of Sail Camp reasonable. We welcome parents to assists us with on-shore support, boat maintenance, errands, general help, snack and lunch time supervision, and afternoon activities. Parent volunteers will receive a credit of $40 towards the total camp fees. This year we are asking parents, that wish to volunteer, to sign up for a one half-day (4 hours) time slot per week for each camper they send. Parent volunteers are asked to check for available time slots on the Volunteers Page. Parent volunteers are required to attend an orientation session to be held in conjunction with the Parent Meeting, May 18, at 5:00 PM at the Concord Yacht Club. Included in the cost of sail camp is a boat user fee and a parent volunteer fee. The boat user fee will be waived if you supply a boat that can be used in the Sail Camp program. The parent volunteer fee will be waived if you volunteer to help in Sail Camp a minimum of one-half day per participant during the week. Refreshments and snacks are provided in the cost of camp. However, campers must provide their own lunches.
A Deposit of $50.00 per child will reserve your space in Sail Camp. All applications are due with the balance of ALL fees due by the Parents Meeting on May 18th at 5:00 P.M. at the Concord Yacht Club Clubhouse. All fees shall be paid in full on or prior to May 18.
