Spring Dance
Get ready to BOOGIE with the WALRUS
May 11, 7 - 11pm | The Majestic, 1027 N Forest St. | $20 advance/$25 door | 21+
Enjoy an evening of live music by the Walrus, dancing, beer from Boundary Bay Brewery, pizza by Pizza'zza, and more, all while raising funds for your local Community Boating Center!
All proceeds from the event support the CBC's youth scholarships, which enable local youth to learn the boating skills necessary to access their incredible marine environment.
The CBC hosts the Spring Dance in partnership with the Corinthian Yacht Club, a nonprofit that promotes, advances and encourages the sport of Corinthian and amateur sailing.
The Walrus is one of the Northwest's favorite bands, and has been rocking clubs, parties, weddings, and outdoor events since 1995.
Immense thanks to our Spring Dance sponsors!
Classes are 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. This year, we introduced a 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.
Plus, don't forget about our indoor classes! In addition to paddling and sailing skills, every boater needs knowledge of navigation, tides and currents, weather, and more to help them stay safe on the water. Our indoor classes provide the knowledge base to support your boating skills, and to turn you into a full fledged mariner.
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.
