A Sunfish sail
All full and big
And boats on the water
That we, Girl Scouts, rigged
We all learn
To sail
On Lake Belton
So Blue
And a Sunfish
Would sail better
If it sailed off
With YOU!
I have gone to many sailing camps
and programs. But the Spring Break Sailing Camp at Camp Kachina
is, by far, my favorite.
The afternoon you arrive, you are
welcomed with a smile and the day is dedicated to getting you familiar with the
parts of the boat, safety and knots. As well as getting to know the other Girl
Scouts who would be sailing with you. The next day is smooth sailing all day.
If you’re experienced you can solo sail or you can go out on the water with a
buddy.
The camp I attended, we sailed for
a fun six hours! None of us had trouble sleeping that night and the next day
was points of sail and cleaning up.
Its camps like these that help get
girls feet wet in the world of sailing. It opens up an opportunity to stay fit
and learn to harness the wind and the water as well as meet other girls you
share your same interest.
I was fortunate enough to go to
camp two and a half years ago and learn to sail, because I have had a love and
passion ever since. And now, as an Ambassador, I still go to these camps and
events to get a recap. Because it’s not only the sunfish and the wind that
always draw me back to Camp
Kachina , but it’s the
coordinators and adult volunteers that make all of these events and programs
fun and safe.
These adults at Kachina have
encouraged me to keep boating and they will forever fill my sail with wind to
keep sailing forward. And now this summer I am going on the Virgin Islands Tall
Ship Sailing Destinations trip.
Come to Camp Kachina
for Summer Sailing camp, because we would love to see you paired with a sunfish
and on the water. Sailing like a Mariner Girl Scout!!
