Classes open for registration
All 2019 on water classes are listed and open for registration. Explore new adult keelboat, dinghy, and kayaking classes, and new youth summer camps.
Check out our new keelboat camp for teens - this camp serves as an intermediate step as teenagers hone the skills they learned when they began sailing in our youth camps, and prepare for the more complex and technical skills offered in our adult sailing courses.
Additionally, we have added keelboat and dinghy classes specifically for women - it's far past time to balance the scales in the boating world, and we're here to help people of any and all genders access their marine environment.
We look forward to another spectacular season with you - our incredible community members (past, present, and future) - on Bellingham Bay. Thank you for supporting equitable and inclusive access to boating.
