Brendan Sailing

Brendan Sailing is a sailing program with an overall goal of building confidence and social skills through sailing. Our St. Mary's program introduces safe instruction for not only sailing, but incorporates the concepts of paddle sports and powerboating as well. Led by US Sailing and US Powerboating certified instructors, the Brendan Curriculum covers an introduction to the sport of sailing that includes the parts of the boat, maneuvers, navigation, and the Rules of the Road that follows the National On-Water Standards. Participants are given first hand experience in all domains of recreational boating, including power and human propelled craft. When not on the water, campers have the option of a variety of recreational and team building opportunities to promote self-confidence and esteem. These activities include swimming, bowling, and more.

Residential session participants get the opportunity to stay on-site in St. Mary's College student housing, take meals in the dining hall, and build confidence through the independence they experience while staying on campus. No sailing or boating experience is necessary for either of the St. Mary's Day or Residential Sessions. To participate in the Residential Camp, we prefer students to be at least 14 years old.
