Bow Mar Junior Sailing adheres to the format of the US Sailing Small Boat Sailor Certification Program.  The curriculum and guidelines help kids have clearer expectations of the skills that need to be accomplished in order to pass to the next camp level.  Our goal is for your child to feel comfortable with his or her knowledge and expertise on various sailboats, demonstrating the skills that are needed to be a confident sailor.
