Sailing Builds Outdoor Skills and is Totally Fun!
Would You Like to Learn to Sail?


 

We have a sailing program, and it is about to become better and larger!  

We have long offered sailing on Lake Martin on selected weekends each spring and fall, with the longer Sail Away Summer Camp.  

Now, we are about to offer even more opportunities within this pathway program.  Participation in a traditional troop is not necessary.

Sailing is a lifetime sport that involves the ability to swim.   It is an active sport and can provide hours of enjoyment being out on the water, watching the weather patterns and learning to read the wind to power the boat.   We have a large fleet of sailboats of different sizes and types from Sunfish to an O'Day that sleeps 8, so we offer lots of different types of craft to learn on.

Rusty and Gwen Black, volunteers who live in Opelika, will be expanding the sailing program this year.   They will announce sailing days during some weekends when they will be up at Lake Martin available to teach sailing to those girls who would like to learn to sail.   The cost will be modest, and they will coordinate via an e-mail list announcing when they will be at Kamp Kiwanis. Even beginners, starting at age 9, can join in the fun and learn to sail a Sunfish! Also, if you have friends who want to sail and are not Girl Scouts, they simply can pay the $15 GS registration fee, and they can sail, too!

If you live close enough that you don't mind the commute to Lake Martin and would like to participate, please contact us at [email protected], and we will create the e-mail list.   It should be a great time!
