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 Three

Well week three was quite the adventure of a week. We started out on Monday with a boat getting it's mast stuck in the mud and a long ordeal to get it free. K-Man even offered to become Atheist if our luck didn't start turning around. We meet a nice man who lived on a house boat who helped finally free the mast and gave hot tea to everyone. Tuesday and Wednesday were both very cloudy days mixed with rain and not that ideal for boating. However on Thursday the sun finally came out and we all ventured over to Madison Beach for some sun. Friday was the perfect boating day with just the right amount of wind and plenty of sun as well. Here is the video from week three and also the first video for the summer. Amanda has the pictures on her computer but is in Portland for the weekend so when she returns we'll put them up. Thanks everyone for a wonderful week.
