Dick Allsopp Summer Camp
The Rudder Club’s Summer Camp for budding sailors
Campers will learn how to rig, launch and sail a boat; knots; boat parts and terminology; racing rules and some racing strategies. Sailing encompasses and develops social skills, teamwork, self-reliance, independence and problem-solving as well as sportsmanship and respect for crewmates, the weather and equipment.
The camp teaches according to the U.S. Sailing format and strives to provide top quality instruction, nurturing and development. If a new sailor really takes to the sport, they are welcome to attend more camps or come back in the Fall for our Junior Sail programme. Some go on to become Counsellors in Training, then Counsellors, then instructors, coaches, head coaches and Camp Directors. Not a bad job to have in the summer holidays! For more information, please visit our Junior Sailing Program page.
The Dick Allsopp Summer Camp takes place each summer for five weeks at The Rudder Club of Jacksonville. Camp is offered for ages from 8-15 years old. You can book one or multiple weeks, which run from Monday to Friday. Drop off is 8:30 - 9:00. Pick up is 3.30 - 4pm. There is no requirement to attend consecutive weeks.
