Our Core MissionTo build pathways for self-confidence and personal growth in children with learning differences… through individually tailored experiential instruction in sailing.
Brendan Sailing focuses on each student and his or her individual needs. While we teach sailing skills and safety on the water, the end result is a strong sense of accomplishment and enhanced self-worth. Through our program, Brendan students not only learn how to sail - they gain a foundation for building self-confidence and social skills through sailing.

St. Mary's Day and Residential CampStarting in 2005, Brendan Sailing expanded its reach. Thanks to the support of St. Mary's College of Maryland (a Public Honors College) in St. Mary's City, MD, and our partnership with Spirit of America we were able to add another dimension to our sailing program & its overall goal of building confidence & social skills through sailing.

"Brendan Sailing helped build the confidence in my child, not only to drive a sailboat but also to take me sailing with her. Many people do not respect that some children may need more time to learn and can get distracted... Brendan instructors were parent and understanding with her."
