Program Participants Served & Counting
The Sailing Center is a main access point to the waterfront for many families, youth, schools, and organizations in the Burlington area. Not everyone has the luxury of getting out on the lake. That's why we serve thousands in our community every year.

More Sailing Class Spots Offered this Year
With high demand year after year, we expanded the number of sailing class spots this year by 8% in comparison to last year. That means, 76 more children and adults could discover sailing for the very first time!
"I feel as though my daughter's confidence has improved. She has repeatedly asked to return to the center on weekends to sail. She is always so proud to tell her friends that she "sails". This is the second year we have done it, and she once again states that it was her favorite camp all summer!"
