In partnership with Oak Island Parks and Recreation, the Cape Fear Yacht Club runs annual one-week youth summer sailing camps, described as the only on-the-water program in Brunswick County. Campers sail single-handed Optimist dinghies and two-person 420s while learning sailing fundamentals, boating safety, terminology, rigging and how to skipper around Dutchmans Creek and the Cape Fear River, with US Sailing's REACH STEM curriculum woven in. A swim test is required to participate.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Cape Fear Yacht Club directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
