SAILING CAMP 2011: Parents Keep this page!
Dear Parent and Junior Sailors: It’s time for sail camp! We have
a great group of enthusiastic and talented counselors who will
be waiting for you at the lake. Following are some policies and
helpful hints to keep everyone safe and happy at camp:
Monday of each week is registration day. Try to arrive a little
earlier, by 12:30, so that your head counselors can place you in
a group. The counselors will also host a short parents’ meeting
after everyone is registered.
All sessions are from 1-6 PM. No meals will be served but snacks
and drinks will be provided. We will provide plenty of water.
Please arrive at 1:00 sharp the remainder of each week. If the
wind is good, we will immediately rig the boats and head out on
the water. If you are late, it is possible that you will be
sitting on the shore until someone can come and get you!
Parents sign campers in and out each day; please do not drop
your camper without making sure he or she is with a counselor.
If you are going to be late or absent, call your counselor so he
or she will know when to expect you.
Parents, note your pick up time is during rush hour and plan
accordingly. The counselors have a least an hour’s worth of work
after everyone goes home.
We will send home a contact list of instructors’ and
supervisors’ cell numbers as well as yacht club phone numbers on
Monday.
BRING: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, water shoes-
either crocs, flip flops, or old tennis shoes, a towel and a
change of clothes. Make sure all items are marked with the
camper’s name. Sailors should arrive with swimsuits already on.
Every camper MUST have a comfortable, well fitting Type
III P.F.D. (life jacket). A “ski vest” type of life
jacket is safer and more comfortable than an older type orange
“horse-collar”. Type III vests are available at Walmart and
Target.
Friday at 5:00 we will have an awards ceremony and pizza party.
Parents and siblings are invited! Bring your camera!
Do not hesitate to call an adult supervisor or your instructor
with questions or concerns.
The code to get into the gate at Harbor Island is #camp. Don’t
forget the #.

Sail Camp History
In 1988, Mandy and William Hofmeister
were instrumental in forming "Miss Mandy’s Sailing Camp", the nucleus of which was the many parents and
juniors who sail at Harbor Island and Percy Priest Yacht Clubs.
From this small and under funded beginning has come Harbor Island’s Junior Program – comprised of a
sail camp which now runs four weeks in June, several regattas aimed specifically at junior sailors
and an ongoing contingent of juniors participating as crew and skipper in the many club regattas.
Many of the children that have graduated through the program become coaches in the program by completing
a U.S. Sailing Instructor course taken over two weekends in the spring.
The Junior Program is one of the best outreach efforts the club has to offer. Spanning several states,
it is available to those who cannot afford to pay, through membership scholarship funding and other
interested parties.
