The Columbia Sailing Club on Lake Murray offers five one-week summer sailing camps for youth ages 4–18, open to the public with no boat ownership or membership required. Full-day sessions run 9:00am–5:00pm, and a two-week half-day PB&J camp serves the youngest sailors ages 4–8. The nonprofit club provides its own fleet of sailboats for all experience levels.

★★★★★Gary WoodruffGreat friendly club to race out of. They have clean and comfortable facilities. The manager Brent is an absolute delight and very helpful.
★★★★★Flying HawkAmazing camp where my young children really learn to sail! Very low student to instructor ratio! Various course levels available to insure student progression over time! We have attended for 3 years and plan to come back next summer. We are considering the year-round programs, as well! Italian Riviera - here we come!
★★★★★Andrea GilstrapOur 3 boys each did different weeks of summer camp and we did private lessons with the incredible Morgan. Brandon and all the staff and instructors are amazing. I was very impressed with the teenage instructors. We have LOVED all our experiences with Columbia Sailing Club.
★★★★★Amelia SjodinWe absolutely love the summer camp they offer. We are so thankful for all of the amazing instructors who are so kind and helpful to such a rowdy bunch of kids all week! They do an awesome job of making the kids feel welcome and get to know each other. Brandon does such a good job keeping it all organized. This is the second year doing it and I’m sure we will be back next summer too!
★★★★★Alison CryerSuch a unique and fun camp for my kids!! They learn so much and be challenged at learning something many don’t ever get the chance to. My two loved it. This was the second year for my daughter and we will be back again to do it. Brandon and his team run a safe and friendly environment. Highly recommend.
