City Island Youth Sailing Camps

The City Island Youth Sailing Camp is part of a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young people through the sport of sailing. Our mission is to provide children and teenagers, regardless of their background or financial means, with the opportunity to learn sailing, develop leadership skills, and build a strong connection to the marine environment.

​

At our camp, participants receive hands-on sailing instruction from certified coaches in a safe and supportive environment. We focus on teaching teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving while fostering a love for the ocean and a sense of environmental stewardship.

​

Through scholarships, equipment loans, and community support, we ensure that every child has access to this life-changing experience. Whether they are complete beginners or budding sailors, we help each camper gain confidence on the water, make new friends, and create lasting memories that go beyond the horizon.
