Small Craft Safety: Sailing
Level: Junior-Ambassador
Course Description: This blended-learning course is comprised of an online module, seven video lecture modules, and an in-person skills session. In this course path you will learn specialized hands-on skills that will build competence and confidence in managing a small sailboat during a sailing experience. Participants will learn the skills needed to take a group of girls sailing, sailing terminology, points of sail, how to rig and maneuver a sailboat, how to manage the boat in high and low winds, and what to do in the event of capsizing, at a lake on one of our camp properties. The in-person skills component requires strenuous physical activity including capsizing, emptying, and reboarding a small sailboat while wearing a life jacket. Practicing these skills may result in minor scratches or bruising. Course Registration: This course may only be accessed via the Small Craft Safety: Sailing learning path. Register for the in-person portion of this course by opening the course within the learning path in gsLearn and following the direct link to gsEvents, or by searching in gsEvents. The accompanying online modules are available in gsLearn within the course itself.
