Therapeutic Sailing, Camaraderie, AND Support
Sailing is an ideal, therapeutic sport for Veterans and First Responders with PTSD and disabilities. Sailors with PTSD and disabilities learn to cruise around the bay and develop societal skills such as leadership, teamwork, and self-reliance. Sailing provides Veterans and First Responders the opportunity for camaraderie and teamwork experienced while serving in the military. Therapy administered by nature: what could be better than that?
Our program is designed to progress participants up a pyramid of development. No prior sailing skills are required. It is the choice of the participant as to how far they would like to move up the level of development. We offer weekly sailing throughout the year.
WHEN: Thursdays 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
