ABOUT US

Summer Camp for Kids & Teenagers is a project born in 2013, intended to offer sailing experiences to young people as a source of growth, knowledge and culture

The spirit that links the skippers and creators of the project is the passion for their job and the pleasure to convey to young people the experience of life at sea in its entirety, by discovering a world away from the noise of everyday life, a world where you can enjoy endless emotions: the most unspoiled coves, the rustle of wind and water, the murmur of whales or the dolphins jump, learning the secrets of ancient traditions unto the most modern technologies of the art of sailing. The project is intended to pass to young people the passion for offshore sailing, raising their awareness to a more conscious relationship with the sea, in a confined environment by engaging them in the practice of sailing and the rhythms of life on board where game, responsible personal involvement, and respect for others and for the environment alternate
