Working in small groups, participants also learn about responsibility and collaboration, while experiencing the practical application of science and mathematics! Because the study of sailing can be a lifelong process, our young sailors are able to challenge themselves, setting and moving toward their own goals. Things that they will learn: Sailing and boating safety, nautical terminology, knots and cleating, care of boats and equipment, rigging and derigging, points of sail, and sailing team roles and tasks. Camp runs Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm.

Jr. Program Begins Session A

When: Mon, Jun 21 2010

The RPCS Junior Program is the flagship of our organization. Junior Members are experienced sailors, many of whom learned in our camp program! Junior Membership comes with both privileges and responsibilities. Junior members enjoy a wide variety of instructional seminars and are able to sail at any time during program hours. Junior members are expected to help keep our facility neat and clean, and may be asked to help with minor equipment repairs or to assist less experienced sailors. RPCS Junior Program operates according to the Corinthian Spirit, which states that they will conduct themselves with honor and integrity, both on and off the water. The RPCS Racing Team is selected from among the best sailors in the Junior Program, and all of our Instructions in Training (IIT) and most of our other staff came up through this program.
