and should have the opportunity
to learn how to SAIL
and become an ambitious, skilled,
and active sailor for the rest of their lifetimes.“
– Capt. Mike Janota

Sea star base galveston offers a 5 day sailing camp available for youth ages 8 and up.
While learning the fundamentals of sailing such as parts of the sailboat, rigging, points of sail, steering maneuvers and sail trim; campers practice their skills out on the sheltered waters of Offats Bayou. More advanced students focus on developing good form, practicing strategies and challenging each other around different race courses throughout the camp.
The Youth Sailing Program at
Sea Star Base Galveston is unlike
any other youth program in the country.
Children are taught by our highly skilled staff at a world class sailing facility but the benefits do not end there.
In the Youth Sailing program, children learn stewardship of our oceans, coasts, and communities; they are heavily mentored by our dedicated volunteers and learn physical, social skills, critical thinking and teamwork skills that will carry them throughout life.
