There’s no better place to spend summer days than on (or in) the water. At Austin Sailboat Rentals, kids are invited to take to the water, feel the wind in their hair and learn all about sailing. Summer Sailing Camp is offered on both Lake Austin and Lake Travis for kids ages 8-16 years old, who are either beginners or intermediate sailors. With a focus on fun, team-building and safety, campers will learn how to sail (or sail better). Weekly sessions take place throughout the summer months from Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., with early drop-off and late pick-up options available.

Camps have a certified US Sailing instructor, certified lifeguard, and one counselor per five camper ratio, so your kids are not only going to learn how to sail the right way, they are going to be safe, while having a whole lot of fun!
