Summers on the lake are a great way to spend a childhood – or a lifetime. Sailing is a wonderfully environmental way of enjoying our waterways here in east TN. And whether you’re cruising down the lake with a family picnic or competing for Olympic gold, the mechanics of sailing are always the same. Our summer youth Sail Camp offers a fun and informal setting for children ages 8-16 to learn how to sail and be safe on the water.
Now celebrating our 26th year, we offer three one-week sessions running June 3-21. Students are divided into fleets by age and experience. Our US Sailing certified instructors tailor all classes to the skill level of the group, whether first-timer or advanced racer. New students are usually up and sailing on their own the very first day. The warm and protected waters of Fort Loudoun Lake offer the ideal setting for learning to sail and just having fun on the water.
