Lake Harriet Yacht Club runs a membership-based youth sailing program on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, centered on weekly group sailing where kids explore the lake, play games, and build sailing skills. Members get access to club-owned Optimist and other boats, so boat ownership isn't required, and parents help rig boats and run safety boats. It is a relaxed, low-cost seasonal club activity (May–September) rather than a full-day camp.

★★★★★Steven MosborgWhile I haven't sailed in years, always admire the programs, spirit and friendly and collaborative atmosphere created by the Lake Harriet Yacht Club on beautiful Lake Harriet in southwest Minneapolis. If you've been thinking about becoming a sailor or returning to the sport, give them a try. You'll be glad you did!

★★★★★Bri Bri FosterI have always felt that I welcomed to an event or social gathering no matter what or where in been held. I’ve never felted was crashing someone’s else’s party. As a generally shy person this has been important for myself and my growth. As a Brain Injured sailor this is even more important. I’ve been sailing with this (family) for about four or five years now.
★★★★★James FraserOne design sailboat racing in Minneapolis: convenient, with youth and adaptive programs as well as friendly, approachable sailors. Makes me happy I moved to Minneapolis! All this and no motor boat chop on the lake.
