Sloop Club Summer Camp 2016

September 07, 2016 by Hudson Sloop Club

Twenty campers (ages 9 - 15) came together to discover the active community of fish and wildlife in the Hudson River Estuary, while getting a taste for steering a sailboat. During this one-week workshop hosted by our partners at Kites Nest, campers participated in a combination of land and water-based activities: understanding how sailboats work, learning maneuvers and vocabulary, going fishing, testing water quality, and building simple tools to read wind, current, and speed. Each day, (weather-permitting), campers spent time on the water, sailing: trying their hand at steering and trimming sail, learning sailing fundamentals, and going places only accessible by river.
