Sailing Program

sailboat

STRIDE’s sailing program offers a one-of-a-kind curriculum, with format provided by American Red Cross and US Sailing. Participants learn to sail both through classroom instruction and on the water, with rigged sloops adapted to meet the individual learning needs of each child. Classes run for 6 weeks on Saratoga Lake.

Classes are run by certified sailing instructors at the Saratoga Lake Sailing Club. First mates attend weekly lessons at the SLSC on weeknight evenings. Parents are welcome to watch from the shore. There is a maximum of fifteen participants per session.


To register, email Alli Ryan or call 518-598-1279.

A current (within a calendar year) STRIDE application must be on file at STRIDE to participate.

STRIDE reserves the right to charge a full price cancellation fee if you make a reservation and do not attend.
