Successful Summer Camp Open House!

The USSCMC YOUTH SAILING PROGRAM hosted a Summer Camp Open House on Saturday, May 30th, with great success. Many registered summer campers and their parents met the summer camp staff, toured the Center, watched sail boat races and enjoyed a sail on one of the many boats available at the Sailing Center. We also had many families visit and register for Summer Camp after seeing the facility and learning about our sailing programs. Many thanks to USSCMC staff and volunteers who helped make this event so successful!
