Middle School and High School Sailing Club?! YES please!

By Macaroni KID Publisher--Jessica Parsons February 17, 2023

It's no secret that I LOVE the fact that we are so blessed to have amazing water views at nearly every turn here in Southern Maryland. While I love the water, to my great chagrin I have never learned to sail. Never even been on an actual sailboat (yes, I've been boating~in fact I live on our boat with my husband and furbaby, Tyson, but never ON a sailboat!)

How amazing is it, then, that young people in 7th through 12th grades have the opportunity to learn to sail and to be a part of an incredible club with Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA)?! 

SMSA's 2023 Spring 10-week session begins on March 7th. 

The program is open to any student--whether public, private, or homeschooled--in grades 7 through 12. No sailing experience is needed!




Practices are held Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association, located at 14490 Solomons Island Rd, Solomons, MD 20688. 

There are SMSA Club races on Thursdays from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and Regattas will be held on selected weekends. 

For more information and registration you can contact them at High School Sailing (smsa.com) or email hssailing@smsa.com.

What a great way to keep your tweens and teens busy, while they learn an incredible skill and build teamwork and a deeper appreciation for the water!
