Youth
Day Camp: The Lake Thunderbird Boathouse offers kids camps this summer
for youth aged 9 to 13. Our one-week programs teach sailing, kayaking, canoeing,
and rowing with an emphasis on sailing. Each student learns the safe and responsible
way to rig, launch, and sail small sailboats while increasing their self-confidence,
coordination, and teamwork skills. Our all-volunteer instructors are certified
by U.S.Sailing and the American Red Cross. Classes run from 9:00 AM till 2:00
PM Monday thru Friday and 9:00 till 12:00 Saturday. The 2008 season will be
the 8th year of The BoatHouse's nationally recognized program graduating over
150 youth from Norman and surrounding communities. Prerequisite is the ability
to swim 50 yards. Graduates receive awards and certificates at a ceremony
for parents and friends on Saturday, the last day of camp. Scouts may receive
the sailing merit badge.
