by Haiden Hibbert photos by Mike Deak Lake season is here at last, which means family time around the clock. Fortunately, if you have children—from little ones to teens—there’s plenty going on in Kosciusko County throughout the summer to keep them occupied and learning new things at the same time. And lucky for us, the Wawasee Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program is hoisted ‘n ready to offer unique experiences to youngsters. So, get ready to block off your calendars and fill out registration forms.

Wawasee Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program

Does sailing run in the family? Maybe you’ve got a middle schooler showing interest. Starting in July, Wawasee Yacht Club is hosting its annual Junior Sailing Program for kids eight to 16 years-old.

Parents can expect the sailing program to foster: » Sportsmanship » Self-discipline » Self-reliance

» Respect for nature and fellow sailors There are four sessions throughout the summer, and each one lasts one week, Monday through Friday. To accommodate your schedule, you may choose either the morning session, which takes place from 9 a.m. to noon, or the afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The first week is already sold out, so be sure to check out the remaining spots. Sessions taking place July 13–17, July 20–24, and July 27–31 are still open as of the time of this writing.

It costs $145 per member and $160 for nonmembers. There are both basic and advanced programs. The basic program is recommended for kids 8 to 13 years old who have little to no experience with sailing, while the advanced program is for kids 13 to 16 who have taken the basic course or have previous experience with sailing.
