Learn to Sail

Community Sailing of Colorado (CSC)

Denver Sailing Association’s partner organization Community Sailing of Colorado provides a great environment for youth and adults learn how to sail prior to testing their skills on a race course. Explore some of their sailing programs below…

Youth Sailing Camps

Join a CSC Summer Sailing Camp your kids will never forget. These weeklong, full-day, camps run each week from the beginning of June through mid-August and provide youth ages 5-17 with a sailing experience that will increase confidence, teamwork, independence, and camaraderie. Not to mention they’re also a ton of fun!

Adult Sailing

CSC offers a range of adult sailing classes, including co-ed and women-only options. These evening sessions are tailored to each of our locations and provide a unique opportunity to build or enhance your sailing skills. Classes are structured as three-hour sessions held once a week over a month-long series, designed to focus on fundamental techniques or advancing your abilities. Space is limited, and course availability may vary by location, so be sure to secure your spot early!

Community Partnership Program

CSC’s diversity-building Community Partnership Program works with youth-serving organizations to provide an introduction to sailing in a familiar group atmosphere. This program utilizes larger, very stable keelboats, so participants can sail with instructors and volunteers to optimize the group’s experience. The goal of this program is to introduce groups of new sailors to the sport who might then be interested in joining summer camp through our scholarship program.

Adaptive Sailing

CSC’s Adaptive Sailing Program is tailored to support individuals with diverse physical or cognitive abilities using specialized equipment. By collaborating with community partners that serve adaptive groups, they make the joy of sailing accessible to all.
