Spray Beach Yacht Club on Long Beach Island runs an eight-week summer sailing program for beginners through advanced racers aged 7-18, from Monday 22 June through Friday 14 August, with a four-week session also available. Unusually for an LBI club, the program is open to youths whose families are not members as well as to SBYC junior members, via a Summer Juniors option that lets children join the sailing program and other camp activities without a full membership. All instructors are experienced sailors and racers holding SafeSport and First Aid/CPR certification, NJ Safe Boating certification and US Sailing Level 1 coursework or certification.

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 Spray Beach Yacht Club directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

Very nice group, excellent facilities
SBYC is the best yacht club on LBI. It is one big family with no pretentiousness. My daughter loves the Junior sailing program. The sunsets and our own private bay beach are amazing!
I've never been part of something so enjoyable. Everyone I've meet, and it's a lot of people are conversant, interesting, and welcoming. Great parties as well!!
SBYC is a private yacht club with sailing programs for both adults and children. They club itself is located on the bay and has a beautiful wharf and clubhouse that are used for events. The evening sunsets are spectacular.
