Sailing School raftup 2016
The 2024 Sailing School will be held the weeks of Monday July 1 through Friday August 9. 

The NYC Sailing School is an important part of the summer for many of our Bayside families. Admission will be prioritized for NYC families, returning students, siblings of sailing school alums, and students who will be sailing for the entire six weeks. In order to gauge interest in the program and make admission decisions, we ask all interested families to fill out our Interest Survey by May 15.  We will contact accepted families via email with program details, registration forms, and payment information by mid-June. All registrations will take place online. A detailed waitlist will be kept of all interested students, and our Sailing Director will be in touch via email or phone if spaces open up over the summer. For those students who cannot sail with the school this summer, there will be ample opportunities for private lessons. 



Pricing for our 2024 lessons is currently under review,
