Youth Sailing Program

Hey Kids, Learn to Sail on Great Pond!

The Great Pond Yacht Club, in partnership with SailMaine, launched a youth sailing program on Great Pond during the summer of 2014. It was a huge success that first year and has continued to grow each year since. In 2017, to accommodate more youth, the program was expanded from 4 week-long sessions to 6 week-long sesssions.

The program is open to all youth ages 9 to 17 — their families are not required to be members of GPYC.
