Madison Youth Sailing offers a progression of classes to take your child to the next level in their sailing adventure. Reach out via our Contact Us page if you need help figuring out which class is best for your child.
KinderPram is a beginner class for our youngest sailors (ages 5-7). This once-per-week class on Monday or Tuesday evenings throughout the summer focuses on introducing sailing in a fun, social environment.
Adventure Camp is for sailors of all ages and all abilities. Whether you're new to sailing (age 7 and above), or are returning to MYSF and are ready for group sailing in a larger boat, our new Adventure Camps get groups of kids on the water to sail as a team to learn the basics of sailing and navigation in order to explore Lake Mendota. Adventure Camps are offered as two-week afternoon camps (Monday through Thursday) or a weekly six-class series on Wednesday evenings
Green Fleet Are you returning to MYSF for another summer or have experience sailing independently and ready to take your Opti sailing to the next level? Our Green Fleet class is ideal for kids (ages 5-12*) who want to have fun, grow their skills through independent sail, and learn the basics of racing. This class also offers the opportunity to travel to local regattas with other youth sailors from around Wisconsin. Many MYSF students enroll in multiple Green Fleet sessions to create a summer full of sailing! Classes are offered in two-week camps in the afternoons or evenings.
*The sailboat we use for Green Fleet, the Optimist, is ideally suited for youth below 120lbs. If you're new to MYSF or unsure if Green Fleet is a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out.
