Youth Sailing
Our school is designed to introduce new skills while building on the old ones. We are dedicated to teaching children and adults the art of sailing, good sportsmanship, teamwork and camaraderie. Our hope is that young sailors will have fun while developing confidence and a love of sailing that will last throughout their lives!
If your sailor, or you as a parent, are interested in time on the water in addition to your scheduled class time, please arrange a day with one of our instructors. The cost is based on an hourly rate. Click Here to email Julie for additional information.

Meet Bergen
Lead Instructor
We are delighted to announce that Bergen Fischer will be continuing to lead our youth sailing program this summer!
"As a soon-to-be freshman at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, I am looking forward to starting in Lubar School Business Scholars Program and also studying music. I am excited to again teach the amazing kids in Oconomowoc Lake’s Sailing Program. I have sailed several Sailboats, spending five years on an Opti, four on a 420, and four on an MC. This year, I will be competing with an MC on Lac La Belle and Oconomowoc Lake. Last year I competed on North Lake and Oconomowoc Lake. In the past several years, I have also taught at Saint Joseph Sailing School, North Lake Sailing School, and Oconomowoc Lake Sailing School, and am excited to continue.
Besides Sailing, I enjoy many other activities such as Singing and Downhill Skiing, both of which I made it to the state competition this past year. Next year I am hoping to study business, continue vocal competitions and Ski as often as I can!”

The minimum is age 7 with completion of first grade. The goal is to build the ability to sail in multi-lake ILYC regattas. Regatta participation will require an additional charge from the hosting sailing organization. We intend to participate in the following regattas:
-
July 17th at North Lake | Opti BOPN
-
August 7th at North Lake | Pram Power
Parents will be asked to participate in the program during the course of the sailing season in several ways. All students must have a parent participate for the full day during regattas.
