BDC Sailing School is offered 2 or 4 days per week, for 3 hours each afternoon. Lessons

the skills and excitement learned earlier in the week. Sailing School may be added to an existing
BDC camp schedule as an EXTRA. Teens, too old for regular camp are welcome to join this program! Participants
meet at the BDC Office and are driven to and from our campus by a licensed and insured bus driver.
