Welcome to the Candlewood Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program. We had a very successful program in 2026. We are already planning for 2027. If you are interested, please add your name to our mailing list below to keep informed about our 2027 program.

​

We look forward to having your child enrolled in the program. Our goal is to create a passion for sailing in the next generation of sailors.

The program is open to everyone, for children aged 8 to 15. No prior sailing or boating experience is required.

​​

Our staff are US Sailing Association certified Instructors, certified in CPR and First Aid, and hold a Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate. The program follows strict safety guidelines developed by the club's board, the U.S. Sailing Association, the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound, and the Gowrie Group's Burgee Program.​

​​

The program runs Monday through Friday, from 1 pm to 5 pm.​​​​​
