Tips for Students

These are tips for new students. Being prepared lets you have more fun, so make sure you come ready!

  • Closed toe shoes are required, either boat shoes or regular sneakers that can get wet. You are encouraged to wear shoes during land activities as well as when on the water.

  • You will get wet sailing, so plan on arriving in your sailing attire and/or bathing suit. Bring a towel and a change of clothes so you can change clothing each day before leaving.

  • Apply sun block (at least SPF 15) and lip balm before arriving. A brimmed hat and properly filtered sunglasses with a lanyard are also strongly recommended. Bring extra sunscreen and lip balm to reapply throughout the day. 

  • Hydration is essential, so please bring a reusable water bottle with your name on it for replenishing throughout the day. A refrigerator is available on site if you wish to bring lunch or snacks.

  • Personal Flotation Devices are required when on the water and will be provided. The use of a helmet is optional, and must be provided by the student.

  • No student will be allowed on the water without signed Waivers!
