SAILING CLASSES

In a partnership with the South Milwaukee Yacht Club and Youth Sailing Association, the Recreation Departments within the School Districts of South Milwaukee, Oak Creek, and Cudahy will offer summer sailing lessons!  Explore the possibilities of learning this incredible sport and making new friends as your child conquers Lake Michigan with confidence and poise.  In this 4-week course, you will learn knot tying, how to use the wind to your advantage, setup and takedown of a sailboat, operating a vessel on land and then in the water, and most of all, the fun of sailing!  There will be approximately six classroom hours and 6 hours of water instruction.
