Sign Up Now for EYC Sailing Lessons

February 20th, 2012

Sign up (or sign up your children) for 2012 sailing lessons now, before your preferred session and time fill up!  Lesson sign ups are already ahead of 2011′s record pace, and the EYC has already been forced to add capacity to some popular lesson times.

The EYC offers group sailing lessons beginning June 11.  Lessons are offered in both morning and afternoon sessions. 

Tip for parents:  the highest enrollment is always in the mornings.  The EYC offers most of the same classes in the afternoons at a discounted price.  To save money, and to increase the chances that your student will experience a lower student-to-instructor ratio, sign up your child for the afternoon session.

For more information and to sign up for EYC sailing lessons, go to www.eyc.org/lessons
