Juniorsail, the fun camp especially for kids, will be held on the 3rd and 4th September 2011 at Mounts Bay Sailing Club.

Juniorsail is a special two day, one night residential development camp (sleep-over) for all junior sailors.

The aim is to have fun (and lots of it !!)

Benefits:

? encourage and integrate young sailors to meet, socialise and develop their sailing skills with peers away from the comfort zone of their own club and family surroundings
? to familiarise the young sailors with their boat
? to understand their own competency encouraging greater independence and self sufficiency leading to increased confidence and an enhanced enjoyment of the sport.
? finally, to provide the challenge to exercise their enhanced skills.
? broaden their exposure to other classes of boats.

Sailors must be able to:
? provide and rig their own boat
? confidently leave the shore and sail around a small course (speed/style is not a criteria) under supervision but not direction.
? swim 50m
? participate without parental reliance and presence
? be confident to sleep away from home at night
