Every Tuesday afternoon from 4.00 pm till 5.30 pm and Sunday morning from 9.30 am till 11.00 am & 11.00am till 0:30 pm, we organize our Sailing Club at Outdoor & Aquatics Jeugdland in the period between May and October (except during the Summer Holiday)! Everyone sails at his own level. We practice new sailing skills each week to learn all kidz sail in an optimist boat in 8 lessons (depending on series) of 90 minutes. All kidz between 8 and 12 with swimming certificate A are welcome to join this course. During sailing club we try to challenge everyone at their own level by our ground principle: Learn By Play!
