Ventura Yacht Club is a full-service facility located on the west side of Ventura Harbor between the Ventura Harbor Village and Channel Islands National Park Headquarters. Ventura Yacht Club maintains a lively Juniors' Program. In addition to the summer camp programs and a race team, Juniors' Sundays are offered monthly to all junior members.
The summer sailing programs offer a safe, educational, and fun environment. We want the kids to learn, and have a great
time while doing so. Learning sailing skills is supplemented with fun activities such as sailing to the beach or park, having
picnics, going on treasure hunts, playing boat-sponge tag, and having relay team competitions.
The goal of the program is to
promote good overall seamanship through learning racing and sailing skills, water safety, and the Corinthian spirit,
and to have a great time while doing so. While having fun, the kids will learn a wonderful sport that they can participate
in for the rest of their lives. VYC maintains a quality fleet of Optimists, Sabots, Lazers, and FJs. All classes are taught
by US Sailing certified instructors.
The summer classes have an average instructor-to-student ratio
of 6:1, so the students receive the highest degree of attention and tailoring to their specific needs. The head instructors
are US Sailing Certified, and are able to certify students through US Sailing. The program emphasizes a fun and
safe learning environment. The goals of the instructors are to offer kids a safe class that is a fun, unique, and exciting
way to spend time on the water, while teaching the students good sailing techniques and skills.
