We run a series of structured weekend
camps (12 noon Saturday to 12 noon Sunday) over the year for junior
club members who have achieved level 1 sailing skills. Up to 50
juniors come along each weekend aged from 8‐16 sailing Optimists,
Toppers, Fevas & 405s.
They are coached in ability groups by qualified instructors and
work towards achieving the RYA awards. Of course they have great
fun developing their sailing skills with their friends too! Parents
are asked to join in too, we always needs lots of help with the
onshore and offshore activities.
Club instructors give their time freely and with parental
support we are able to keep costs to a minimum. For 2011 this is
set at £12 per weekend if you sail your own boat, £27 if you need
to hire one. This includes a 'Sailors supper' on Saturday and
breakfast on Sunday morning.
On Saturday night you can camp at the clubhouse if you wish
(parents must stay too) and training continues Sunday
morning. We also have an optional adult meal on Saturday
nights whilst the kids play on.
For 2011 dates are:
- Saturday/Sunday 30th April/1st May
- Saturday/Sunday 4th/5th June
- Saturday/Sunday 25th/26th June
- Saturday 2nd July (Junior Champs)
- Saturday/Sunday 3rd/4th September
- Saturday/Sunday 24th/25th September
Before attending parents must complete and return the squad
forms including the medical and photographic forms. These can be
obtained by emailing Paul Munro (youth@shsc.org.uk).
Simply indicate which camps you plan to attend and what support
you can give on those days. Full completion instructions are
included in the forms.
