Little Skippers is our half-day program for young campers who may not enjoy a full day of sailing. This program runs from 9:00 – 12:00. Students will learn the basics of sailing while having a great time with their friends. If desired, parents can choose to switch their children to a full-day program. Our goal is to pass on the love of sailing to a new generation.

The CIT program has been redesigned for 2024. Now more than ever, CITs will be involved in teaching young children how to sail. Prior sailing experience is mandatory. This is a great gateway to a future position teaching sailing at camps, yacht clubs, and sailing schools. Port Sailing School does not guarantee future employment.
