Irish National Sailing School
Halloween Courses 2026 (6-7 Years)
Overview
It is a perfect medium between Sea Explorers and Sailing. Watching youngsters grow in confidence as they get introduced to the art of sailing is one of the great rewards for us. Our course will entertain, challenge and stimulate your children as they learn to explore the seas and get introduced to sailing throughout the week – and have fun along the way.
This program is designed to provide a gentle introduction to the world of sailing, combining fun and learning in a safe and engaging environment.
In the morning, after a short talk about marine ecosystem, students will head out to Seapoint Beach to explore the sea shore. In afternoon, the students are introduced to the basics of sailing in a calm and supportive setting. Under the guidance of experienced instructors they learn simple sailing techniques and safety practices.
The camp will run Tuesday to Friday, 9am-5pm each day. We’re open for drop off from 8.30am each day of the camp.
