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 One of 2011!

Hey there, campers!

This week was nice and small, but still very fun. Unfortunately our new counselor, Sophie, got sick at the beginning of the week, but the five of us still managed to have a good time!

Although there was a bit of rain, we powered through it with big smiles and some exciting games. We did some sailing, kayaking, walking, learning, drawing, and swimming, and adventured to the Arboretum, Ivar's, Gasworks, Agua Verde, and Foster Island! Here are the clues for this week's terrifying treasure hunt :) and the rest of the pictures are coming as soon as I return to Seattle on Friday!

Beware all you campers! We the pirates have come!
We've hidden your counselor, find her or run!
Wait 'til everyone gets here, 1, 2, 3, 4...
Then zoom to the bathroom and knock on the door!

You have found her! Now on to the next
Mission and journey, you’ll be put to the test
Where did Kammy find the fortune-teller, hidden away
From inside a dark cabinet, it was brought out to play!

Jackson certainly knows how to make us all laugh
His signature chuckle spreads a mile and a half
There is a large box where we just shouldn’t go
It beeps and moves, and is very slow
To find your next clue you should go to this place
C’mon, all you kiddies! Keep up the pace!

Kammy is a Life game expert of ease
She piles a van full of kids and sails in the breeze
Where are the underwater cameras stored away?
Jessica knows – go find them today!

Jessica can light up the room with her devilish grin
She kayaks and swims so well, she might just have a fin!
To continue this journey, grab lifejackets, quick!
Head down to the yellow, black, and red sticks!

Erica is so helpful, and she rigs boats like a queen
She’s kind and can right FJ’s faster than a machine
Let’s jump in our kayaks and find the treasure in a place
Where we played at the park and Jackson fell on his face!
