Kitsap Sailing Foundation is based at the Port of Silverdale on beautiful Dyes Inlet. Kitsap Sailing offers a variety of programs, including summer sailing camps for kids and teens. No prior experience is needed except for our Spring 2025 high school sailing team which requires coach approval. Our sailing programs and summer camps provide Kitsap County youth and teens with hands-on learning, team-building experiences, STEM education, and fun outdoor memories.
High School Sailing Team(s)
New or experienced sailors in the Central Kitsap Area and from areas of Kitsap without a local sailing team are invited to join the High School Sailing Team with Fall and Spring sessions. Sailing team is a great program for Running Start students, and for home school or private school students as well. Our goal is to help provide near year-round sailing activities for middle and high school students to learn to sail and improve their sailing and leadership skills. Students compete in NW Interscholastic Sailing Association regattas but are not sponsored by CK school district.
Adult Sailing Lessons
We are excited to be bringing back our Adult Sailing Lessons in Summer 2025. More details to come soon!
Mission
The Kitsap Sailing Foundation believes that learning to sail teaches important life skills like teamwork, decision making, and appreciation of the natural environment. Competitive sailing requires tactical and strategic thinking and physical ability. With each experience on the water, young people gain self-confidence, self-esteem and a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment.
A Brief History
In 2006, a group of volunteers formed the Kitsap Sailing and Rowing Foundation to support youth programs in Kitsap County and since 2013 has partnered with the Port of Silverdale. The Kitsap Sailing Foundation continues to provide training, mentorship, and summer camp programs while helping the port acquire new sailboats and equipment and expanding its existing curriculum. Clam Island Rowing became its own non-profit as interest in rowing grew, so we now do business as Kitsap Sailing Foundation.
