Northwest Youth Camps

For the 2021 sailing season, MY SAIL offers youth camps at two locations — Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle (CYC) and Lake Quinault, WA.

Corinthian Yacht Club Sail Camps

Located at the north end of Shilshole Marina, CYC is considered the preeminent sailor’s yacht club for Seattle. Located on Puget Sound, Shilshole offers much steadier wind conditions than can be found on lakes or rivers. MY SAIL is excited to be partnering with CYC’s Junior Program to offer sailing camps on multihulls to youth in the Pacific Northwest.

The clubhouse offers ideal facilities. A projector and TV upstairs helps our US Sailing-certified instructors to present in-class instruction to the students before hitting the water. The bathrooms downstairs are clean, and the showers can provide a quick warm-me-up on cooler days.

Just outside the clubhouse are three floating docks. MY SAIL shares this dock space on a temporary basis, thanks to the generosity of both CYC and Seattle Yacht Club Junior Program. The floating docks allow us to keep the masts up and rigged for quick access to the water. We simply put the sails up, gear up with life jackets and other essentials, and push the boats into the water.

Please note: lunches are NOT included with CYC sail camps. Youth should bring their own lunch each day. Snacks and beverages are provided midday and after sailing.

Lake Quinault

Lake Quinault is situated on the Olympic Peninsula in the middle of the Olympic National Rain Forest. We have been sailing our Hobies on Lake Quinault for 30+ years. No speed boats are allowed on the lake (but we are allowed to have safety boats on the water). A mild, consistent, on-shore breeze usually means wonderful, double-trapeze conditions. The surrounding mountains are breathtaking, and the entire environment is so relaxing.

It is really fun to watch the kids show up at Quinault and for the first couple of hours try to access their cell phones. But after they realize that cell coverage up there is nil to non-existent, they switch gears and become kids again. They become inventive…and attentive! They learn how to sail all the while have the time of their lives. It is truly heart warming to watch the friendships and bonds that are formed.

We run our camp out of the Lake Quinault Rain Forest Resort Village campground. (Easy for you to say!) Tent camping is the norm for most of the kids, but RVs are the sanctuary of choice for the instructors. The campground has bathrooms, showers, and picnic tables under a gazebo roof. We schedule our camps for the dry season, so rain is the exception. Nevertheless, it is a rain forest and proper attire is recommended. Usually though the kids are running or sailing around in sunshine.

Please note: meals are included. The youth may be dropped off at the camp site the evening before the sail camp starts. Parents are asked to pick up their youth the day the camp ends.

Other locations

If you would like MY SAIL to put on a youth camp in your location please contact us and we will see what we can do. It is quite a bit of effort to transport boats around, so no promises.

Also, as an alternative to MY SAIL youth camps, Sail Sand Point offers junior sailing, and some of it on multihulls. SSP is located at Magnuson Park on the shores of Lake Washington.

Junior Sailing at CYC

Junior sailing at the corinthian yacht club.

Welcome to the CYC Junior Sailing Program! CYC offers sailing opportunities for youths of all abilities—from beginning sailors to advanced racers.   Why should your child’s sailing journey start at CYC?  CYC has the equipment, location, coaching, and attitude that will help children explore their independence while learning sportsmanship, building character, and making new friends in a fun and safe environment.

Our Equipment  – Our fleet of Optimist sailing dinghies designed specifically for youth sailing; forgiving for the beginner, while providing a platform to teach the subtleties to intermediate and advanced youth sailors. Our Location  – Shilshole bay is a perfect place for learning to sail. Summers are famous for bringing in light air conditions to the Sound that is perfect for beginners. Luckily, Shilshole’s local thermal winds during summer allow your child to have enough wind to sail. Our Instructors and Coaches  – Since 2015, we have partnered with Sail Sand Point to provide qualified, trained instructors for our camps. All instructors are U.S. Sailing certified and CPR/First Aid trained, have a Washington Boater safety card and have passed a WA State background check. Many have years of personal sailing and teaching experience. Some are even collegiate sailors. Our Community  – your child’s sailing adventure does not stop after a few weeks of learn to sail.  We are building a full youth sailing program that allows them the opportunity to keep getting out on the water throughout the year.

2017 Junior Program

Summer sailing camps (ages 8-13).

Whether it’s your beginner’s first time on the water or time for your seasoned racer to perfect roll-tacking, CYC offers a fun, safe way for your child to enjoy sailing.  Our partner instructors from  Sail Sand Point  use a proven curriculum to engage young sailors while maintaining CYC’s philosophy of helping children explore their independence and build character.  Beginner Opti  camps are designed for 8-13 yr olds beginner sailors;  Intermediate Opti  camps introduce increasingly advance topics; and Opti Racing camp introduces children who have completed the beginner and intermediate camps (or equivalent) to racing. [ Information | Schedule | Registration ]

Our popular Friday Open Sailing for Kids will be offered every Friday from June to September (2016 dates TBA). This program lets children enjoy free time on the water in a less structured but safe and supportive manner. Kids aged 4-14 will have an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of relaxed summer sailing. Young sailors remain within the safety of the breakwater. All sailing levels are welcome. Sailing program runs 5-8pm. $5 dinners are available at 5pm. Parent-run program for CYC Family Members.

Guppies (ages 4-7)

Guppies is an introductory sailing program for young children, ages 4-7, that coincides with our warmest days on the water (2017 dates TBA). This introduction to boats and water helps young sailors enjoy their first taste of sailing in a fun, safe, non-intimidating environment. [ Information | Schedule ]

Opti Racing Clinics (for advanced racers)

CYC will host a series of Optimist Racing Clinics designed advanced junior racers.  In these clinics Junior sailors may improve their racing skills in weekend classes with both on-the-water and classroom instructions. Instructors include recognized international Optimist coaches, such as Pablo Weber, and top coaches from the Northwest region. While registration preference is given to CYC members, the clinics are open to all optimist racers. Clinics are limited to 12 students so register early to get your spot. [ Information | Schedule | Registration ]

Refund Policy for Junior Sail Camp and Clinics

Registrations that are cancelled more than 4 weeks before the first day of class will be refunded, less a $25 processing fee. Registrations cancelled within 4 weeks of the first day of class will only be refunded if CYC is able to fill the vacated spot, less a $25 processing fee. No refunds will be issued once a class has started. CYC reserves the right to cancel programs that do not meet the minimum number of participants, and will attempt to place participants in an alternate program or, if unable, will issue a refund.

2600 South Harbor Blvd.,Channel Islands Harbor,CA,93035,United States,

Business name : Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club

Just before Christmas in 1975, a half-dozen couples sat down together to discuss the feasibility of forming a full-service yacht club in Channel Islands Harbor.

In January of 1976, the Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club was established, and officially incorporated on August 17, 1976, with founding Commodore Floyd Woodcock at the helm.

PCYC officers, committee heads and club members routinely appeared at government offices in pursuit of our aim – a place in the county plans for a clubhouse and marina. We now enjoy the fruits of their efforts in our very own clubhouse alongside the Pacific Corinthian Marina. The Marina is a limited partnership made possible through the investments of our members, with the Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club as the General Partner. The clubhouse and the marina were dedicated in January of 1985, ten years after the first meeting was called to explore the possibility of just such a clubhouse and marina. The founding Board of Directors, elected in 1976, was made up of twelve elected members that served one-year, two-year and three-year terms, respectively. Subsequent Directors re elected at the November annual meeting. After serving at least one year on the Board, a Director is eligible for election to Commodore, Vice Commodore or Rear Commodore. The Commodore designates Board members for the positions of Treasurer and Secretary and, with the approval of the Board, selects officers from the Board or from the general membership to function as Fleet Captain Sail, Fleet Captain Power, Port Captain, Fleet Surgeon and Judge Advocate, making up the Flag for the Commodore’s Watch. Previous Commodores carry the title of Staff Commodore and are eligible for election to the Blue Gavel, the national organization of past commodores

Corinthian University at CCYC

Fundamental skills development is of core importance to any sailor. Whether it is learning to read the wind and the waves or how to improve sail trim, education and continuing education are often necessary to increase the fun and improve safety out on the water. Attaining and maintaining these valuable skills help contribute to a life-long love of the sport.

CCYC's Crew School serves as a perfect introduction to a broad-based sailor skillset. The focus is on providing an understanding of teamwork, strategy, and execution, and how all of these lead to safety and success out on the water. So whether you are interested in finding a boat to crew on, want to have a base-line knowledge for helping your friends out cruising on the lake, or becoming a member of a racing program, Crew School will help get you started.

And don't forget about the kids! CCYC's Junior Fleet  program aims to encourage and develop the sailing and water-related skills of our children (ages 7 to 18) through instructional and peer-to-peer interaction in a structured yet fun and social educational environment. Junior Fleet was re-established in 1996 to develop knowledgeable youth sailors and instill in them a love of the sport of boating that will serve as a foundation for their future.

Throughout the season CCYC also sponsors a variety of Seminars  aimed at improving boater safety and increasing awareness on specific topics related to sailing.  Click any of the links above for more information about our programs, also be sure to visit our Facebook page to see all our upcoming events and latest news!  Stay connected to all the great goings on with all the sailing education programs and seminars happening at CCYC!
