LSC currently has 5 sessions of Youth Sailing Training scheduled this summer - each session runs 5 days, and will have 2 parallel tracks, one for newer sailors, and one for those who have some sailing experience. The final session is an introduction to the fun of racing. Each sessions goes from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm each day.
We are taking Pre-Registrations (and waiting list overflow) - reserve your spot now!
We will take payment only when we get the go-ahead for youth classes in this area. We are adjusting our dates as the current Covid-related executive orders for Michigan change.
