The Concord Sailing Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to training of sailing and racing. The CSC Sail Camp is run out of the Concord Yacht Club on Ft. Loudon Lake near Knoxville, Tennessee. Sail Camp is open to all children 8 - 15 years old. The only requirements are that they have an interest in sailing and MUST be able to swim 50 yards, using any stroke and without life jacket, in sailing clothing, including shoes. Sailing instruction is provided for beginners through advanced levels by US Sailing certified instructors. The instructors are assisted by Training Assistants and Volunteers from the Concord Yacht Club and UT Sailing Club. All off-water activities such as lunches, snacks, and afternoon games, are organized and supervised by parent volunteers. A fleet of Optimist, Sunfish, and JY15 sail boats are used for on-the-water sail training.

The 2010 Sail Camp is offering three, one week sessions in June. Sail Camp hours are 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Although on Friday camp runs longer due to a regatta or parade that parents & family members are invited to observe. As well, a dinner and awards ceremony continues to about 7:00pm. Attendance to this is not mandatory, but an invitation. The Big Boat rides will happen in week two and week three of Sail Camp.

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 23, 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.
