Set sail with Schooner, Inc.

Program for kids in pre-k through twelfth grade

Spaces are still available for Schooner Inc.’s week-long summer camps for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The science enrichment and sailing camps are the "perfect opportunity to get children outdoors and explore Long Island Sound’s wild places, while having fun and making new friends," Schooner officials said.
Campers in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade enjoy shore-based science enrichment and those in fourth grade and up are trained in small boat sailing, among other activities.
Schooner Inc’s summer camp is state-licensed and all camp staff are CPR and First Aid certified
