Leelanau County 4-H and the Maritime Heritage Alliance are partnering again to offer our annual 4-H sailing adventure camp aboard the 39-foot classic sailboat Champion this summer.
Champion is guided by a licensed captain, a crew of trained volunteers including a 4-H volunteer, and six youth participants ages 11-19.
The camp takes place Monday, July 15 with a rain date of Wednesday, July 17 , from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The sail will include a trip to Power Island, the chance to swim in West Bay, eating lunch on the boat, and learning how to tie knots, navigate a course, sail the boat, and more. Want to join the crew? Cost is just $30. Thanks to the Leelanau County 4-H Youth Association, costs for youth are minimal. Meet the crew at Discovery Pier, 13268 S. W. Bayshore Drive, in Traverse City. Bring a packed lunch, water bottle, hat/sunglasses, swimsuit (optional), and a towel.
