ESA Will Conduct Three Summer Camps for Youth 9 to 17 Years Old in 2025

General:
ESA teaches small boat sailing at Indian Mound Park in Englewood, FL.
Learning to sail can develop confidence, character and community among kids. They will be taught the basics of sailing and have fun with other kids as they team with a partner, each fulfilling their role in the sailing experience.
For some kids, learning to sail is fun and for some kids it becomes their passion. 
Specifics:
There are three 2025 youth summer camps for ages 9-17
The cost is $250 per child (financial aid is available if needed)
The camps are Monday through Friday starting at 9 AM, ending at 3 PM

Qualifications:
Youth ages 9 to 17
The student must be comfortable in the water and able to swim.

The process:
The student must be dropped off and picked up each day by a parent or guardian and signed in and out.
Students must wear closed toe and closed heel shoes at all times (No crocs)
The camp starts with a basic swim check where each student demonstrates their ability to swim and climb aboard a boat.
For the first couple of days, two students are teamed with a youth coach who is an experienced sailor and who has completed our coaching clinic.  
By the end of the week, kids are usually able to sail by themselves.
There is a graduation ceremony, family picnic on the Friday, after which students are invited to take family members sailing.
