Learn to Sail Camps, Community Events & Resources
2026 Sailing Camps
Join Oak Hollow Sailing Club this summer at Sail Point! From rising 6th graders to adults, our camps are designed to get you out of the classroom and onto the water. Whether you are a total beginner or an intermediate sailor, we have a spot for you—students are divided into two groups to ensure the perfect level of instruction.
Our curriculum is practical and hands-on. You will master boat parts, sail trim, knot tying, water safety, and capsize recovery. While we focus on “doing” rather than paperwork, we provide online videos and resources for those who want to dive deeper into sailing theory at home.
By Friday, the last day of the sessions, our goal is for every student to confidently sail a boat solo in medium winds.

Join OHSC!
We have events from March to October available to members, no boat is needed. If you have some sailing experience, the club has several boats you are welcome to check out that are included with your membership (once you are approved). They include two Sunfish and one Force Five. The Sunfish are perfect beginner boats, and the Force Five can be sailed by someone with a little more training and experience.
For those with no sailing experience, come out and crew with one of the members. By the end of the summer you will know enough to be sailing in light air by yourself.
See our membership page for more information on joining Oak Hollow Sailing Club.
Online Resources
There is a great website that will take you step by step on how to sail a boat. It was created by some great guys from England so some of the terminology is different from what we use in the USA but other than that, it is a great practical resource and it is free. Check out sailaboattv youtube channel here.
