Intro to Sailing Camp at The Floathouse

The Petaluma River is the perfect place to learn (or recall) how to sail. Mild and building afternoon winds ensure that campers learn to work with the wind and tides in the safe environment of the downtown turning basin, setting them up for further challenges in bigger water. No prior experience necessary.

Intro to Sailing Summer Campers learn the basics of sailing using remote control sailboats, El Toros, a Captain's Gig, and a Lido-14. With small camp sizes (6 max) and expert and experienced coaches and support staff, we make sure that every camper gets full attention and instruction, and is challenged to the extent of their abilities and desire.

Campers are welcome to attend multiple sessions, and if they want a full day of boating, they can combine Intro to Sailing with our Small Boat Camp, which runs M-F, 9 am-1 pm.

Bring a hearty snack, extra clothes, towel, a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat. Water shoes or other closed-toe shoes are best. Glasses need to be secured with a Croakie or other keeper.
