Explorers, our youngest group, ages 4-6. It is a land-based group, they do not sail. Children will explore the Fort Getty marine environments - the rocky shore, the sandy beach, and the salt marsh. Children will discover and learn about marine animals and their habitats through hands-on activities. The goal of the class is for kids to have a positive experience at the water's edge, while learning more about the marine environment.

This program is for to children that have had previous experience in the O’Pen Skiffs or are 10 or older with sailing experience. This is a small class where the focus is only on sailing, as opposed to sailing and marine education. Children will have the opportunity to improve their sailing skills and comfort on the water in a more challenging boat than our signature boat, the Hobie Wave. We have 4 O’Pen Skiffs available and class will be led by an experienced sailing instructor.

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." - John F. Kennedy

CISF's leadership program for children ages 12-16 runs in conjunction with Jamestown Sea Adventure Camp. Sailing is an ideal platform for gaining confidence and leadership in its own right. We want to take the next step by directly providing leadership skills through discussion, leadership training, games, and goal achievement using sailing, marine science, and environmentalism as mechanisms to learn and practice leadership skills.
