WHAT’S AN OPTIMIST?
The 8 ft Optimist Pram is an ideal boat for learning. It is a stable boat and is easy to handle on the water. This boat is the go-to learning boat for sailing centers around the world.WHO ARE OPTI EXPLORERS?
Opti Explorers are first-time or newer sailors, ages 7-11, looking for a fun introduction to sailing. Sailors will gain confidence and independence on the water while sailing alone or with a partner. Students learn the basics of sailing in a fun Summer Camp environment, using hands-on adventures and games to learn sailing.The Half Day class is better suited for younger kids who want a shorter summer camp during the day and may get tuckered out spending a full day at the lake. The Full Day sailors are ready to spend a full, action-packed day at sailing camp. They take a 1-hour lunch break at the lake to cool off and recharge.
MORE SPECIFICS:
We place 1 to 2 sailors per boat to make them feel comfortable while learning; each instructor supervises eight or fewer sailors. If you prefer your child to sail alone or have a friend/sibling with whom you want them to sail, please indicate that while registering.The activities and adventures change each session to encourage sailors to return to check off all their skills.
WHAT’S NEXT?
After taking this course, sailors who have completed all their Explorer skills should move on to Optimist Cruisers.
