 Conduct (from the application)

You must abide by all the regular camp rules. When around campers, you are expected to be good role models and mentors. If you have problems or complaints, bring them to the appropriate adult, out of view and hearing of the campers. We’d like you to display a great attitude for the campers. You are examples of the best our program produces. The campers are all looking up to you!

 Sailing Résumé

Include your sailing résumé with your application. This should be a typed page where you tell us about your sailing experience. Include things like: sailing classes or clinics that you have attended, sailing awards (sportsmanship, RYC jacket, etc.), trophies you have won, major regattas that you have attended, race committee experience, crew experience & class of boats you have sailed. Tell us about any current certifications that you have that are applicable to the Sail Camp, such as first aid, CPR, lifeguard, US Sailing Instructor Certification. You can include previous experience teaching younger kids, working at camps, or whatever you think is relevant. Sell yourself! This is a great opportunity to practice for future job applications.
