Certification Levels

We are working to standardize Bow Mar Junior Sailing through the instruction of the US Sailing Small Boat Sailor Certification Record Book .  The curriculum and guidelines help kids have clearer expectations of the skills that need to be accomplished in order to pass to the next camp level.  Our goal is for your child to feel comfortable with his or her knowledge and expertise on our various sailboat fleets demonstrating the skills that are needed to be a confidant sailor.
