The Hampton Yacht Club will conduct its summer sailing program for Juniors, ages 9 thru 17, at the Club. This program is designed to teach the fundamentals of seamanship and safety afloat and to provide basic sailing instruction as well as coaching in racing techniques for more advanced students. An experienced staff of full time instructors will be available. We anticipate a great year for this program of sailing and fun, which has shown repeatedly to be one of the best on the Chesapeake Bay.

The program will start on June 16, 2008 and end on August 8, 2008.  Early submittal of application is advised.
