Leelanau County 4-H and the Maritime Heritage Alliance are partnering again to offer its annual 4-H sailing adventure camp aboard the 39-foot classic sailboat Champion this summer. Champion is guided by a licensed captain, a crew of trained volunteers including a 4-H volunteer, and five youth participants ages 11-19. The camp is offered on either Friday, July 18 and Monday, July 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sail will include a trip to Power Island, the chance to swim in West Bay, eating lunch on the boat, and learning how to tie knots, navigate a course, sail the boat, and more. Want to join the crew? Cost is just $30.
Meet the crew at Northport Harbor, 105 Rose St, Northport, MI 49670. Bring a packed lunch, a water bottle, hat/sunglasses, swimsuit (optional), and a towel. Questions or ready to register?
