Courageous Sailing's Jamaica Pond site gives City of Boston children sailing in their own neighborhood, through two-week courses at the Jamaica Pond Boathouse. JP 1: Sailing 101 is a beginner sailing and watersports course for ages 8 and up, and JP 2 is a two-week beginner/intermediate course for ages 10 and up; students split the day between sailing and rowing, kayaking or STEM activities, and learn the pond's ecology alongside rigging, skippering and knots. The day runs 8:45am–3:15pm with an extended-day option of 8:00am–5:00pm for an additional $100.
