Your Community
Sailing Center
Youth Sailing Virginia is an accredited US Sailing Community Sailing Center on Mill Creek at historic Fort Monroe, teaching kids, teens, and families to be safe, confident, and capable on the water. We offer summer camps and learn-to-sail classes for ages 8 to adult, learn to swim to learn to sail courses, a home port for high school racing across Hampton Roads, and community partnerships that welcome kids who would never otherwise set foot on a sailboat. No experience needed, no boat required, and no child turned away for inability to pay.
All instruction by US Sailing certified instructors. A REACH STEM Education Center.
There's a place for you on the water!
Let's Sail
We work diligently to design sailing programs with four goals in mind.
- Build diversity into our programs so that our programs reflect our community
- Maximize access to sailing programs for youth from all socioeconomic backgrounds
- Incorporate applied science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) into our training curriculum
- Teach youth skills that will benefit them throughout their life, such as leadership, independence, concentration, self-reliance, decision making, and teamwork
