Lake Forest Sailing is the sailing arm of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation, a US Sailing accredited training centre operating from Forest Park Beach on Lake Michigan. Its summer sailing camps are half-day: Little Luffers for ages 5-7 puts two young sailors in each pram to build a base for Pram 1, with a morning session and a new afternoon option running 1:20-3:30pm, and families can have a child bring lunch and stay through both. Lake Michigan Explorers for ages 10-12 is a short camp for new or somewhat experienced sailors, sailing a 26-ft Colgate 26 with an instructor always aboard. Registration is through the parks department and the sailing supervisor will consider sailors who fall just outside the age thresholds.
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 Lake Forest Sailing directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
