Duration ~7hrs
Difficulty Moderate
Setting Outdoor

A publicly supported nonprofit sailing club on Lake Grapevine whose camps register through the City of Grapevine parks and recreation store, which is about as public as youth sailing gets in North Texas. Campers sail RS Zest dinghies, splitting each day between classroom and water time on rigging, boat parts and care, knots, right-of-way rules and boating safety. Every child passes a swim test on day one, swimming about fifty feet to a boat, boarding it, doing a capsize drill and swimming back in a life jacket. Sessions run two weeks, boat use is included, and the last day has a midday parent viewing.
