FAQs and Stuff You Need to Know
Are there requirements?
- To participate on your own (without parents, family, guardians, etc.), we require that you
- Be at least 12 years old
- Bring your signed waiver
- If participant is under 18, waiver must be signed by parent or guardian.
What do you need to bring?
You should arrive prepared to be in the water, meaning you should be willing to try deeper water with a life jacket on - even if you don't swim! It is ok to sail even if you do not know how to swim.
You absolutely must bring your signed waiver!
You might also want to bring the following:
- Sunscreen
- Swimming suit + Towel (or 2)
- Water bottle full of water/beverage
- Snacks
- Change of dry clothes or sweats - even if it’s warm and sunny!
- Warm blanket or sleeping bag if it’s chilly
- We provide life jackets but you may bring their own if you want (please label)
- EpiPen if you are allergic to insect stings
Can I bring my friends and family members?
Yes, as long as everyone is enrolled! Please keep in mind that we can only take 8-10 participants per session. Therefore please check the schedule to make sure that there are enough open spots available! If you wish to book a private "party," or a Group Session, please email Sara at sailoshkosh@gmail.com!
Can I sign my kids up, even if they are under 12, and I won't be sailing?
Yes as long as
- your kids are at least 10 (see the sessions for 10- & 11-year-olds)
- you will remain for the duration of the lesson.
