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.
