Sail Avb Camp

The course takes place from 6.30 pm on Sunday to 6.30 pm on Friday with overnight stay at the club.

 Program:

Traditionally, the Associazione Velica di Bracciano organizes summer sailing school camps  for young boys and girls aged 6 to 18.

The aim of the course, through a pedagogically correct path, is to achieve autonomy in sailing and to achieve a positive experience of this sport together with other youngsters.

The courses are organized in weekly modules that start from the late afternoon of Sunday until Friday evening.

In our camp  we will carry out both theoretical and practical activities on the water in front of the club. 

The students will be divided into groups based on age and previous experience in sailing: 
a week of course is generally sufficient to learn the basics of this sport, 
but we recommend at least twoweeks to consolidate the concepts learned.
Our approachalsoallows you to participate in non-consecutive modules.
The boats used are the Optimist for children, while for the olderones the Laser will be used.
Young athletes can learn while having fun staying overnight in the structure adjacent to the club 
and having breakfast and meals at our Refreshment Point.
The cost, including accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner 
and membership to the Italian Sailing Federation is € 380.00 for student.
