Come Sail with us!

What do we do?

We offer free after school programs that combine sailing with science, using activities developed by US Sailing. Typical programs are two afternoons a week for four weeks plus a Saturday Session.

What is S.T.E.M.?

S.T.E.M. is a curriculum designed to educate students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEMsail seeks to reinforce these concepts utilizing sailing as a practical platform for learning with a special emphasis on sustainability and an awareness of our marine environment.

Why STEMsail?
We introduce you to the world of sailing – to get outside, to begin to understand and become curious about the world, to become self-reliant and at the same time to operate as a team – in essence, sailing develops character in so many ways. Learning is more effective when it’s fun.
