Cost Paid
Duration ~3hrs

Setting Outdoor

The best documented family sailing offering in the Thousand Islands, run by a nonprofit museum rather than a club. Kids sail Sunfish and Optimists on the St. Lawrence, rotating between skipper and crew, with capsize recovery and swim safety built into the week. Intro to Small Craft takes children from age 4 who can swim; Beginning Sailing runs 8 to 12. The Adult and Family Sailing course is the rare one designed for a parent and child to take together, using everything from historic Herreshoff boats to modern Sunfish. Free Community Sailing Night every Tuesday evening means a family can sail here for nothing.
