The Courageous Summer Youth Program: Steps To Lead

At Courageous Sailing, youth experience sailing as a platform to develop leadership skills, gain confidence, explore Boston Harbor, and delve into hands-on science.

Even our newest sailors enjoy the thrills of skippering a boat, going fishing off our docks, and making new friends, the first steps on their journey to becoming integral members of the Courageous Sailing community. Our 5-Step curriculum provides a framework for learning and growing through increasing independence, responsibility, and achievement.

*The Steps To Lead program runs from 8:45AM - 3:15PM *

We also offer our Steps To Lead program at our satellite site in Jamaica Plain. Learn more about our Summer Youth Program offerings at our Jamaica Pond site today!
