Our learn-to-sail program gives many students their first opportunity at command of a boat. Students earn self confidence and responsibility as they learn small boat handling skills. Sail Charlevoix students who continue in the program gain experience in a structured environment where young adults exhibit leadership that inspire the next generation of program leaders and beyond. It is an every year occurrence that students transition from learning (Seaman, Mate, Skipper) to leading (Junior Leaders) to teaching (instructors).
Sail Charlevoix program scholarships assure every child may have an opportunity to sailing and access to Lake Charlevoix. These programs are based on financial need and are a limited in availability. Please contact our director for eligibility and details.

Our learn-to-sail program gives many students their first opportunity at command of a boat. Students earn self confidence and responsibility as they gain boat handling skills. Lessons include sailing terminology, knot-tying skills, safe sailing lessons, racing skills and much more.
Our racing program starts by honing dinghy skills and can help transition the student as far as they want to go. Sessions focus on specific racing skills and techniques with classroom instruction to review strategy, tactics and rules. Short practice races allow for ample coaching opportunities.
Our adult program has successfully provided newer sailors the opportunity to comfortably handle their own boat. We tailor these sessions to the individual. Whether getting on a dinghy for the first time or refreshing good sailing habits, our instructors are there to provide the experience desired.
