Members of the Sebastian Boys and Girls Club were treated to a week-long Youth Sailing Foundation Camp, held at the Moorings Yacht and County Club, thanks to scholarships granted by generous donors.
“We had a wonderful group; the kids have done exceptionally well. The instructors were very pleased with their progress,” said board member Chris Pope of the campers, a mix of boys and girls ages 9 to 11.
It was the first time sailing for each of them, but all gained confidence on the water in the colorful Optimist dinghies.
“They were very well behaved and wrote the nicest thank-you notes, with beautiful artwork,” Pope added. To register for free beginner classes during the school year visit www.ysfirc.org.
