About our St. Mary's Camp
Day and Overnight Camp Sessions
Ages:
Day Camp: 11-18 years old
Overnight Camp: 14-18 years old
Since 2005, Brendan Sailing has been helping children with learning differences to realize success. Thanks to the support of St. Mary's College of Maryland (a Public Honors College), and our partnership with Spirit of America we add another dimension to our sailing program and its overall goal of building confidence and social skills through sailing.
Our St. Mary's program introduces safe instruction for not only sailing but incorporates the concepts of paddle sports and powerboating. Led by US Sailing and US Powerboating certified instructors, the Brendan Curriculum covers an introduction to the sport of sailing that includes the parts of the boat, maneuvers, navigation, and the Rules of the Road that follows the National On-Water Standards. Participants are given hands-on experience in all domains of recreational boating, including power and human propelled craft. When not on the water, campers have the option of a variety of recreational and team building opportunities to promote self-confidence and self-esteem. These activities include swimming, bowling, games and more.
Overnight session campers will have the opportunity to stay on-site in St. Mary's College student housing, take meals in the dining hall, and build confidence through the independence they experience while staying on campus. Includes single occupancy dorm room as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner.
No sailing or boating experience is necessary for either the Day or Overnight Sessions. To participate in the Overnight Sessions, we prefer students to be at least 14 years old and have completed 8th grade. Day Campers will experience the same curriculum joining us each day from 9:00-4:00 (including the weekend).
