Key West Community Sailing Center Youth Programs

Key West Community Sailing Center Youth Programs include Spring Break Camp, classes, camps, special events, group sailing, lessons, clinics, group sails, periodic regattas, weekly Sunday afternoon races, and the annual “Round the Island Race.” Sailing in these programs uses a fleet of over 30 boats, including monohulls, catamarans, and a variety of youth sailing boats, ranging in size from kayaks and paddleboards to 16-foot Hobie Cats.

• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Spring Break Camp March 16–20; weekly Sunday afternoon races

Key West Community Sailing Center Youth Programs are part of a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization whose mission is to encourage and support sailing and sailing education, and to provide Sailing Center facilities for educational, recreational, and social use for the public. The Center offers year-round educational and social programming for youth and adults, members, and the community, and sponsors support youth scholarships, equipment upgrades, facility improvements, and events. Members have free access to the fleet after they successfully demonstrate basic sailing skills, and Center boats must be returned to the dock no later than a half hour before sunset. The organization’s leadership includes an Executive Director, Commodore, Vice Commodore, Secretariat, Governance Officer, Fleet Captain, Dockmaster, Membership Officer, Communications Officer, Development Officer, Volunteer Officer, and Officers at Large.
