Mystic Seaport Museum offers a number of summer camps and programs that provide a unique learning adventure! Community Sailing day camps provide an opportunity for kids ages 6 to 15 to build and refine their sailing skills with our sailing instructors on the Mystic River. And teens ages 15 and up can sail along the coast as part of the crew of the schooner Brilliant. Select a camp and give your child a summer to remember at Mystic Seaport Museum!
Sailing programs for adults are also available through both Community Sailing and the Schooner Brilliant program!
Our programs are licensed by the state of Connecticut and our staff includes experienced camp counselors, US Sailing certified sailing instructors, Red Cross certified Lifeguards, and US Coast Guard licensed captains.
Participants will receive a 75% refund if they cancel before 30 days prior to the camp. No refunds will be given if cancellation is made within 30 days prior to the camp.
