Periodic Update

A few things we are working on this month:
Registrations
Registrations are coming in daily as classes fill up for the summer. We anticipate a full house for most classes again this year.  Please review this site for all the information and click the "Registration" link above to  register. We look forward to sailing with you and your kids in 2018. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected]

Junior Sailing Counselor Training
We will once again be having trainers from US Sailing coming to the Club this spring to train a number of our junior sailors to become Sailing Counselors. Becoming a counselor is the first step to becoming an instructor at SLSC and is open to juniors who are turning 14 or older this year. Counselors volunteer the sailing school instructors throughout the summer as they are available. It is a great way for us to introduce juniors to the process of teaching sailing so that they can see if they like it and we can begin training them for eventually becoming instructors once they become Level 1 instructor certified. For more information you can visit US Sailing at http://www.ussailing.org/education/sbinstructor/sailingcounselor/ or contact Mark Welcome with questions.
US Sailing Level 1 Instructor Training
We also have a couple of requests for also running a US Sailing level 1 instructor course at the Club this year. This is open to both juniors (age 16 and above) and adults. We are very fortunate at SLSC to have a large number of members who are certified and who assist us with teaching the many adult programs we run every year. We need 6 people to make the course a reality, so please let Mark Welcome know if you might be interested.
