Throughout Columbia Sailing Club's Sailing Summer Camp history, we have experienced many success stories of growth and confidence building. There is one story that stands out, a teen camper who came to us facing several daily challenges.
The teen's parents were going through a divorce, one parent was battling illness, and she was anxious about going back to school in the fall. Fortunately, her Grandmother came across our Junior Sailing Summer Camp programs and signed her up for a Beginner Club 420 Sailing Session. Little did she know how much and in how many ways CSC's Sailing Summer Camp would help her Granddaughter!
Throughout her week with us, she slowly opened up and thrived as each day progressed. Not only did she learn how to sail a boat on her own but she made some close friends who helped her enjoy the week. We were delighted when she signed up for a second week of camp that summer because we could see her enjoying time on the water and having FUN!
She is now an avid sailor at summer camp, attending multiple camps each summer! Her parents coordinate with the other parents from that first year to make sure the group of friends are signed up to attend the same sessions. We are thrilled to see her come back every summer and it is a joy for the coaches to watch her, and other junior sailors, grow in their personalities and sailing skills.
