Burnham Park Yacht Club is a member yacht club founded in 1938 on Northerly Island, on the eastern shore of Burnham Harbor near Chicago's Museum Campus. The club runs a Junior Sailing School alongside its sail and power fleets, beer can racing and CASRA regattas, describing the youth program as a safe and empowering environment for students to experience sailing. The club's own site does not publish current camp ages, session dates, hours or registration; the only junior sailing detail linked is a 2023 brochure PDF.

★★★★★Shirley WalkerThis club has been a significant addition to my stay & love for Chicago. I am originally from Houston but now here by choice. The staff, the members, the chef, the environment, cleanliness, the location and hospitality team has been unbelievable. I can’t wait until next summer.
★★★★★Yev ChornenkyyGreat yatch club but it’s closed in the winters fyi : P
★★★★★Matt CollinsReally great place - super nice folks and service.
★★★★Mr. KelloggWas invited to the Kentucky Derby party down at Burnham park and I was impressed. Vinnie delivered a brilliant bourbon themed meal and Bob, Mark and Rob started the 2021 season off with a bang. Staff were great fun, Food was impeccable and it’s been mentioned many times before but the views from the club are stunning.
