About Camp

Queen City Junior Yacht Club, 2608 Boyer Avenue East on Portage Bay invites swimmers 8-17 years old to join one of 8 one-week sessions from 9-3.

The Camp is open to all Elementary School Students, Middle School Students, and High School Students regardless of whether you have any affiliation with the Queen City Yacht Club.

Certified Sailing Instructors will provide instruction in boating safety, small boat handling, basic rowing, rigging, sailing fundamentals, knot tying, boating and games. The goal of the camp is to give campers a taste of the many opportunities boating has to offer.

Unlike any other boating/sailing camp in Seattle we maintain small class sizes to ensure every student gets the attention they need. We make sure that every student gets at least one one-on-one time out on the water with an instructor. To ensure this our class sizes range between 5-7 campers each week with two counselors.

Classes are available for beginning and intermediate sailors. For further questions please e-mail juniorboating@queencity.org.

We are fortunate to be able to have small class sizes so we are able to easily change our schedule to fit people's interests, ability, and weather to give our campers' the best experience possible. So while we try to stick to these schedules there is some wiggle room.

What to Bring To Camp:
Please make sure your child has: a swimsuit, lunch, sun screen, water bottle, sun glasses with lanyard, towel, and a change of clothes. Please note that if your child has glasses they need a lanyard so they don't lose them in the water. Already this summer we have had two pairs of glasses disappear.

Week Two

Week two was a shorter week because of The Fourth of July but we still managed to do plenty of fun stuff. We had some returning campers and it was great to see them again. Thursday we had thunder and lightening which made for a very realistic treasure hunt. Afterwards we were forced to take shelter because of the weather and watched probably the worst movie I have ever seen, The Cat in the Hat. Later it clear up and we managed to sail over to Agua Verde once the weather cleared up which we all agreed was a much better place to eat than Ivars. On Wednesday we should have sailed up to Madison Beach but I didn't think the wind would last so we went kayaking to the Arboretum. This trip turned out to be a little long but we all had a great time playing capture the flag. It was nice not to be competing with the Seattle Yacht Club for space this week and besides all the motor boat traffic were able to get in some good sailing. Hope everyone had a great 4th and if you were lucky got to spend it on the water somewhere.
