Seneca Sailing Academy
A nonprofit school on Seneca Lake with Opti weeks for little kids and free public First Sail days off Geneva. Ages 7 and up.
A nonprofit sailing school on the east shore of Seneca Lake, hosted by but separate from the local yacht club, formed to give the community access to seamanship skills. Opti Week takes the youngest sailors from age 7; Adventure Week and Girls Week run 9 to 17 at all ability levels, capped at twelve to sixteen sailors. Private instruction is explicitly configurable for a family, up to two adults plus two children. Best of all, the academy runs free public First Sail days off the Geneva farmers market waterfront, which is the cheapest way in the state to find out whether your kid actually likes sailing.
