Oak Harbor Youth Sailing Loft

Oak Harbor Youth Sailing runs learn-to-sail and water sports camps for Whidbey Island youth, meeting at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club on Oak Harbor Bay. The full-day Learn to Sail camp for ages 9 and up runs Monday through Friday, 10:00am to 3:30pm, mixing classroom instruction, games and daily sailing sessions, with sailors grouped by size and skill within each week. Afternoon Intermediate Sailing (1:30pm-4:30pm) is for campers who have completed a previous OHYS camp, and half-day Water Sports sessions for ages 8 and up add kayaking and paddle boarding. Instructors are US Sailing certified, and the program also fields middle and high school race teams.
