Course information

Registrations for this course are closed.

Drummoyne Sailing Academy School Holiday Camps are designed to offer children a program of fun and adventure, both on and off the water during their holidays.

We provide a flexible program that suits a wide range of weather conditions and both ages and confidence – the younger participants are looked after by our experienced trainers and older teens enjoy the challenge of testing their sailing skills. We are able to cater for children of between 7 to 15 years – participants should be able to confidently swim 50m with a lifejacket on.

We spend as much time as conditions allow on the water – sailing in our Sabot/PJ dinghies and our RS Fevas and Visions, as well as exploring the local river and environs. A highlight of the course is a visit to Cockatoo Island.

Lunch is provoded.
