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 seven?

Regrettably week seven's pictures and video are on Amanda's computer which doesn't work. Check back and hopefully we'll get them up soon.

Week Nine

This was a bittersweet week considering it was my last at boating camp. The weather couldn't have been better, although the wind was a bit shifty. There were only four campers at camp this week which reminded me of when I started working at the camp when we had a week with only one kid. But we had lots of visitors throughout the week: Olivia, Sasha, Lilian, Sarah, Eva, Liz, and Kirstin. Hope everyone had a good time and that I'll see you all out on the water someday soon!
