BASIC TRAINING CAMP

The Warrior Sailing Program Basic Training Camp is focused on introducing the skill of sailing to wounded, ill and injured service members. In a fun but intense 3-day camp, participants are taught the basics of sailing and sailboat racing. It’s about teamwork, self-reliance and the fun-factor. The program is open to wounded, ill or injured service members and veterans of all branches of the U.S military. The program is available to all persons within the targeted audience regardless of age, gender and race.
