If you have ever joined in singing “I Love Camp Chingachgook” around the campfire, then you know we love sailing on a windy day! There is nothing better than spending time on the clear waters of Lake George and learning a new sport that many campers don’t have access to in other parts of their life. The sailing program for overnight campers offers a fun, educational, and memorable experience for beginner and expert sailors alike and through the years it has remained one of our most popular and unique activities for campers to enjoy!
As Camp continues to increase our enrollment and welcome more campers each year, the demand for this program grows. With your support, we can improve and expand upon our sailing program by offering more certifications and training for sailing staff, replacing and repairing equipment so there are more boats and spaces for youth in each class, and ensuring that all our gear is safe and useable for sailors of all ages. Sailing teaches safety, teamwork, independence, and responsibility through challenge and adventure – which is what a camp experience at Chingachgook is all about.
