Sailing lessons begin soon at Hunterdon Sailing Club! Here’s what to bring with you.
For youth learn-to-sail, Parental Note: Please ensure all forms have been completed and provided to the membership coordinator prior to attending the first class. Any medications your child needs should also be brought and the instructors made aware that the child has these. Students will need to conduct themselves with the same constraints as expected at school. Students will need to pay attention, try their best and have FUN.
Please bring the following to the Learn to Sail Class.
1) Life Jacket (Mandatory)
2) A shirt to wear under the life jacket.
3) Sun Block
4) Lunch and snacks for the student on full day classes
5) A Hat (with leash so it doesn’t fall in water)
6) Water Shoes (closed toe to avoid sharp objects in sand)
7) Sun Glasses (with leash/safety strap to keep glasses on your head)
8) Lots of stuff to drink, especially for full day classes
No food is provided to students.
The goal of the class is to introduce the students to the wonderful sport of sailing. Many people start out in this way and embrace this activity for the rest of their life for recreation or competition.
This course is designed to teach the basics of sailing. Students will be REQUIRED to wear a life jacket while on the water (no exceptions). Each day they may be given a short homework assignment
There is a fee payable upon entrance to the park each day. Call the park or check the website for details (Tel 908 638 8572, or website at www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/spruce.html).If you plan on being at the lake regularly you can purchase a park pass in the ‘toll booth’ office. Otherwise the fee is to be paid each day – parents for youth learn-to-sail, please hold onto your morning receipt so you can reenter the park without additional cost later in the day.
