Week 5 July 8-12

This summer has just flown by! After four weeks of learning and practicing, we finally get to put their skills to the test. Week five is focused on running series races in all groups. The top three positions from each group will receive their awards at the crows nest awards banquet on August 2.

It was wonderful to have the parents out on Tuesday watching the races. We know the kids love showing you what they’ve learned!

We also got to have a lot of fun this week with two adventures to different harbors. On Wednesday the entire camp got to ride out in the power boats to Fairport Harbor Beach. We spent the day swimming and playing and even doing some tubing thanks to Pat Galaska! The Advanced group even got the special treat of having lunch at Pickle Bills!

A special thanks goes out to Mary, Bob and Christie Toma for bringing the East Coast Custard Truck to lunch on Thursday! It was such a fun surprise for everyone.

On the last day of camp the race team ventured out to Port Clinton for the “Warm Up” Regatta before Jr Bay. It was a great practice run.

The rest of camp had a lot of fun playing with the fever and the Hobee’s and the open bags followed by an afternoon tour out to chagrin River. The kiddos love a good power boat ride when it’s wavy out!

Sunday is the start to the I-LYA Junior Championships on Put-in-Bay island. Fondly known as “Junior Bay Week” this is the ultimate test of skills and endurance for Jr. sailors from Toledo to Erie, PA! Let’s go MHYC!
