Junior & Youth Summer Sailing Week

Our all inclusive summer sailing week includes a 5 day sailing course, full board accommodation in our own purpose-built residential centre and a whole range of exciting evening activities for you to enjoy when you are not on the water.

Run over the school summer holidays, the week is suitable for all abilities and ages from 10-16 years. Our fully supervised accommodation is only a short walk from the sailing centre and each fully en-suite room sleeps between four and six. Girls and boys are accommodated separately and as far as possible those of a similar age are grouped to share a room.

The Sailing

With courses aimed specifically at children, from beginner to advanced and seamanship to spinnakers, we aim to have something to offer all youngsters. Each day's activities are based around the RYA dinghy sailing courses coached by our sailing instructors with the youngsters learning in boats suitable for their age and ability. Whether youngsters are on a beginner or more advanced course, the whole empahsis is on fun: with teaching through games, challenges, a pirate day sail and by getting out on the water and doing it! Youngsters will need to bring plenty of energy and enthusiasm.

Evening Activities

Our Summer Sailing weeks are particularly popular as they as much about the youngsters time off the water as it is on (or in!). We have a full programme of things to do after the sailing day is over from beach games to a BBQ evening. Also included in the price of the week is a climbing wall session and an evening excursion to Tower Park and Splashdown as well as the chance to try windsurfing, kayaking and dragonboating at our Poole Park centre - so swimming things and lots of energy are essential!
