Tanglefoot Sailors, August 3-8

Mon, Aug 3 @ 2:00 pm

$575

Feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face as you learn the art of sailing on the sparkling waters of Clear Lake. With guidance from our experienced staff, you’ll master the basics of sailing both Sunfish sailboats and Hobie Wave catamarans. The fun continues at the waterfront where you’ll paddle board, kayak, canoe, and enjoy plenty of time swimming and soaking up the summer sun. Midweek, you and your friends will embark on a canoe adventure across the lake for an overnight at a local state park—pitching tents, sharing stories, and sleeping under the stars. Back at camp, challenge yourself at the archery range, work together to complete low ropes course challenges, and enjoy making a sailing-inspired craft. Campers entering seventh grade and above in fall 2026 will also have the opportunity to take on the high ropes course!

Highlights of the session:
– Sail a Sunfish sailboat.
– Sail on a Hobie Wave catamaran.
– Take an overnight canoe trip across the lake to a state park.

Campers should feel comfortable in deep water while wearing a lifejacket and have strong basic swimming skills. Sailing is weather dependent.

Registration deadline is 7/20/2026

(Grade level for registration is the grade your Girl Scout will be entering in Fall 2026)
