SailJH

SailJH empowers youth aged 12-18 through hands-on sailing experiences at Jackson Lake. Our program fosters teamwork, leadership, and environmental stewardship while teaching essential sailing skills in a safe, supportive outdoor environment.

SailJH is a week-long youth sailing program held on Jackson Lake, designed for motivated students ages 12&ndash;18 who are ready for hands-on learning, teamwork, and adventure. Each session runs Monday through Friday, with daily drop-off at 9:00 AM and pick-up at 4:30 PM at the Home Ranch Lot. We provide transportation into Grand Teton National Park and all sailing equipment, including life jackets and safety gear. Enrollment is intentionally limited to just 6 students per week to ensure individualized instruction, strong supervision, and meaningful time at the helm. Students spend their days actively sailing, rotating through roles such as skipper, trimmer, and tactician while learning wind awareness, boat handling, knots, water safety, and seamanship fundamentals.&nbsp;By the end of the week, students will understand points of sail, basic navigation, right-of-way rules, weather awareness (including mountain storm safety), and how to confidently crew on a keelboat. Beyond technical skills, the program emphasizes leadership, communication, environmental stewardship, and decision-making in a dynamic outdoor setting. SailJH is structured, safety-focused, and physically active&mdash;students should be comfortable in and around water and ready for full days outside.&nbsp;Scholarships are available to ensure accessibility for families who need support.

Summer Sailing Camp

SailJH es un programa de navegaci&oacute;n juvenil de una semana que se lleva a cabo en Jackson Lake, dise&ntilde;ado para estudiantes motivados de 12 a 18 a&ntilde;os que est&aacute;n listos para el aprendizaje pr&aacute;ctico, el trabajo en equipo y la aventura. Cada sesi&oacute;n se realiza de lunes a viernes, con entrega diaria a las 9:00 AM y recogida a las 4:30 PM en el Home Ranch Lot. Proporcionamos transporte al Parque Nacional Grand Teton y todo el equipo de navegaci&oacute;n, incluidos chalecos salvavidas y equipo de seguridad. La inscripci&oacute;n se limita intencionadamente a solo 6 estudiantes por semana para garantizar instrucci&oacute;n individualizada, una fuerte supervisi&oacute;n y un tiempo significativo al tim&oacute;n. Los estudiantes pasan sus d&iacute;as navegando activamente, rotando roles como patr&oacute;n, podador y t&aacute;ctico, mientras aprenden sobre la conciencia del viento, el manejo del barco, nudos, seguridad en el agua y fundamentos de la seamanship.&nbsp;Al final de la semana, los estudiantes entender&aacute;n los puntos de navegaci&oacute;n, la navegaci&oacute;n b&aacute;sica, las reglas de preferencia de paso, la conciencia del clima (incluida la seguridad ante tormentas monta&ntilde;osas) y c&oacute;mo trabajar con confianza en un velero. M&aacute;s all&aacute; de las habilidades t&eacute;cnicas, el programa enfatiza el liderazgo, la comunicaci&oacute;n, el cuidado del medio ambiente y la toma de decisiones en un entorno al aire libre din&aacute;mico. SailJH es estructurado, enfocado en la seguridad y f&iacute;sicamente activo; los estudiantes deben sentirse c&oacute;modos en y alrededor del agua y estar listos para d&iacute;as completos al aire libre. Se ofrecen becas para garantizar la accesibilidad a las familias que necesitan apoyo.
