The Intermediate Optimist program is for sailors ages 8-12 years old with experience in the Optimist dinghy.  Participants must come to this program knowing the basics, such as rigging the boat, how to sit in the proper position, basic sailing knots such as the figure-8 and square knots.  Participants will work toward improving their skills such as tacking, gybing, sailing upwind and downwind and learning basic rules of the road.  This is a 2 week full day program intended to provide the skills for participants to move up to Green Fleet, or just improve upon their sailing skills in general.Successful completion of the Optimist Beginner program is a prerequisite for this program (but may be waived in the discretion of the Junior Program Director).

**It is likely we will have a late start on Tuesday and Wednesday this week of camp due to the 2 regattas that AYC and SSA host.  We will extend the end time of camp to compensate for lost time though.**

Participants will need to bring the following things to camp every day:

• Life Jacket (Coast Guard approved) with whistle

• Closed-toed shoes that can get wet

• Change of clothes & towel

• Sunglasses & hat

• Sunscreen

• Lunch & snacks

• Reusable water bottle
