About Maryland Windsurfing Camps and Programs

Parents with children who love the water may consider enrolling them in windsurfing camps. These camps are geared toward various age groups and ability levels for learning the basics of windsurfing or perfecting existing skills. They usually take place at a beach or lake, providing full access to the water for practice and instruction. The day may start off with a lecture or brief classroom instruction, followed by on-land simulator work or water demonstrations. Kids can then take part in on-water windsurfing drills, with video analysis of their progress at the end of the day.

Counselor Certifications: Counselors at windsurfing summer camps are often professionals in this sport or top-notch coaches. These world-class windsurfers should be certified and boast many years of experience teaching sail trimming, jibing, tacking, racing and freestyle.

What to Ask the Camp Director: What is the camper to instructor ratio? The smaller the number, the better, as you want your child to have the most personalized attention possible. You want to see about a 5:1 or less ratio for a windsurfing camp.

What to Pack: Bring a wetsuit or swim suit, plus plenty of sun block and towels. Many day camps do offer lunch, but if not, be sure to pack enough food for the day.
