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 Six

What a fun week! For week six we had all high schools which created a great dynamic and I felt like by the end we were a great group. I felt like I could trust anyone in that group which is really great to have. Everyone was a pleasure and very enjoyable to have at camp. The Blue Angels were flying this week which made things extra exciting. Monday we spent the day sailing around Lake Union. Tuesday the weather was rainy so we spent the morning indoors but got to go sailing in the afternoon. On wednesday we got a chance to tour the University Bridge. The whole summer we always go under this bridge and it is interesting getting to meet the people who are in charge of it. On Thursday we went to the Arboretum and got to check out MOHI. I got water on the digital camera but by the end of the day it had dried off. Friday we had our treasure hunt and went to Agua Verde. The afternoon was without a doubt the strongest and gustiest wind we have had this summer. Thank you everyone for making this week one of the highlights of the summer for both Ian and I.
