Activity program for the sailing camp.

Instructors and safety.

Our objective is to create a productive and fun summer camp for children. Improve their levels of Espanish and carry out an initiation sailing program (improvement or advanced) in which the children will learn to handle the sailing boats and even have own autonomy in handling the boat themselves.

 

We have a group of Spanish instructors and another group of sailing instructors registered with the sailing association making the Club de Vela Eves, a productive, entertaining and safe camp.

 

Our counselor to camper ratio is one of the highest, as we count on 1 instrucor per 6 campers.

Safety. At all times.



Safety in the water: at our sailing camp, safety is key. Instructor supervision is permanent, and the prevention at the begging and duration of activities is crucial.

 

In water activities, it is mandatory for children to wear safety jackets and there is always a rescue team ready on boats.

 

Nautical rescue training is a requirement in all sailing instructors.

 

Medical assistance, boat insurance, and civil responsibility and sanitary registrations: we count on companies such as Allianz Seguros and Mapfre; insurance policies that will allow us to develop the camp under the right conditions, as well, our facilities are registered with Castilla y León’s Sanity and Tourism.
