SAILING + SWIMMING
@ Mentor Harbor
Sailing through the summer!
For more than 75 years, Mentor Harbor Yachting Club has offered junior activities to keep kids active, healthy, and safe in, around and on the water. Our campers have a ton of fun while they learn how to:
Sail and swim for fun and for competition
Safely ride on and man powerboats
Use kayaks and paddleboards (SUPs)
Swim in pools and open water safely and competitively
You are never too old to learn how to sail!
Get outside. Learn skills for life. Join the fun!

Crow's Nest Sailing Program
MHYC's Crow's Nest Sailing Program is designed to teach kids ages 7 to 16 the joy of boating and water safety skills for life. Spend your summer days outside on Lake Erie, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, powerboating, playing at our beaches, swimming in the pool and enjoying the beautiful MHYC clubhouse and grounds. Our more competitive sailors also race on the Opti Race Team or the Advanced Race Team. Crow's Nest is open to members of the Club and the community, and we welcome beginners of ALL AGES. We may have 5 Fleets, but this is 1 Family.
