Welcome to Bow to Stern Sailing School’s Youth Sailing Programs…
A quick footnote: We are in the process of updating our website. Pictures from our 2009 season, class details, new challenges for returning sailors, and other exciting news for 2010 are in the process of being included. Please check back often.
It has come to my attention that there is much information on different websites that is incorrect reguarding our future plans. For clairfication of our progress please feel free to contact us.
Now on to the information…
a bit of history… The Youth Sailing Program was only a dream in February of 2008, and in just four short months community members and business owners in Oriental and Pamlico County came together to make the dream a reality.From volunteering hundreds of hours building our beautiful fleet of wooden Optimists, to donating program materials and resources, the community efforts launched a summer program which now has reached over 120 children, both locally and as far away as Mexico, Texas, and New York.
In the maritime spirit and tradition, each of the Optimists were named and christened with sparkling water in a celebration for good luck in the many seasons to come.
And what an amazing time we have had so far!!
where we are located… We are in the heart of the sailing capital of North Carolina in Oriental, giving our program participants access to the Neuse River and a variety of local scenic creeks.
who we are… Meet the Lead Instructors.
what we do… Bow to Stern Sailing School’s Youth Sailing Camp and CIT Program offers kid-friendly, yet intensive sailing experiences to students age 8-15 by combining on-the-water experience with classroom activities. With Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced classes, young sailors are able to progress through different levels at their own pace. Racing rules and tactics are taught at the Intermediate and Advanced level so students may participate in local, regional, and possibly further-reaching regattas. The older sailors can participate in the Counselor in Training program which will enhance their Leadership and Sailing skills through many different activities, including assisting with the Youth Sailing Program and exposure to Keelboats.

On and off the water, students are encouraged to display respect, humility, stewardship, and cooperation for the greater good. It is our hope and highest aspiration to help build the strong foundations within an individual that support long-lasting, healthy relationships with others, the earth, and themselves.get involved…
