Both of these forms must be returned by the first day of class. No sailing is allowed without these forms, so please return them promptly.

Remember to pack your sailor a lunch if they are in an all-day course. We are peanut free! Please remember that the only prerequisites are that your sailor can swim and comes to camp with a fun attitude. We are excited to have your sailor involved in our program this summer. See you soon!

What to Bring to Sailing To guarantee a fun and safe summer, it is required that participants bring the following items to sailing camp Type 3 Lifejacket Sunscreen Hat and/or sunglasses Water bottle Swim trunks/rash guard You can look for lifejackets at any outdoor store located near you. Some stores that carry a variety of options would be Bass Pro Shop, Erehwon, etc., and Walmart has some as well. The only requirement is that it is a Type 3 lifejacket, so make sure that the label specifies this. For the time being, we have a supply of lifejackets available for use until your child has acquired a lifejacket of their own. Please label everything with your sailor s name. As far as sunscreen and a water bottle, if you don t already have these items in your household, CVS, Walgreens, grocery stores, etc. carry them. If your child is prone to burns, we recommend a high SPF, as they will be out in the sun for the majority of the day. It is crucial to their safety that as the temperatures increase, your child has a water bottle on hand at all times. A hat and/or sunglasses can also prevent burns and help keep them out of the sun while on the water. All of these requirements are to ensure the safety of your child and allow them to make the most out of this experience. If you have any further questions about where to acquire these items, just let us know and we would be happy to help you! Drop off & Pick up Drop off & pick up for all LFS programs is to take place at the South pavilion. The South pavilion is at the base of the South beach access road and is where the sailing office is located. Please turn around and stop on the pavilion side of the road to drop off your sailor. We do not want to block traffic for other South beach patrons. Tell the beach guard at the top of the hill you are dropping off or picking up for sailing and they will let you down. Unfortunately we are unable to issue parking passes for the South lot.
Expected Behaviors Sailor s Bill of Rights. Sailors participate in this sport for a variety of reasons and have many expectations. Whether it's to attain a personal goal, a higher level of competition or simply for the pure joy of the sport, parents and coaches hold the key in athletes' choices to participate. Sailors have the right to: have fun through this sport; participate at a level that is consistent with ability; have qualified, sensitive leadership; participate in a safe and healthy environment; share in the leadership and decision-making of their sport; as a child, play as children; have the opportunity to participate in sport regardless of ability; proper preparation for participation in the sport; an equal opportunity to strive for success; be treated with dignity by all involved; say 'No' With the acceptance of these rights the sailors accept certain expectations. As we are in the program together, it is necessary to maintain a good level of personal and social behavior in order to learn, have fun and be safe. The following are important parts of good behavior. They do not include every possible behavior but do include important ones. To the best of my ability I will: Be here on time to go sailing every sailing day; Bring all necessary gear, especially PFD, Sunscreen, Water Bottle, & Extra Clothes; Be ready to be actively involved in the day s activities with a positive attitude; Practice personal and team safety both on and off the water; Stay with my sailing group both on and off the water; Treat all others with respect; Help my fellow sailors in any way possible; Respect and maintain both the club s and others personal equipment; Help maintain the appearance of the Sailing Center; Accept and follow the directions of the Sailing Instructors Consequences of continued misbehavior. Sailors will be disciplined first by the sailing instructors. If that does not correct the problem, the Sailing Director will become involved, and parents will be notified. A sailor could be suspended or removed from the program if negative behavior is repeated or harmful. I understand the expectations and consequences of the Lake Forest Sailing Program. I will do my best to fulfill these expectations this year Sailor Signature Parent/Guardian Signature Date
