Location: Columbia Yacht Club

Description:

Learn to sail on Lake Michigan and explore the science, technology, engineering, and math that sailors use every day. Using REACH, US Sailing’s STEM education curriculum, answer questions like: How does this boat float? What does geometry have to do with sailing? Does the wind pull or push a sailboat? Half your day will be spent inside the yacht club doing hands-on, sailing-related STEM activities, and the other half out on the lake on a J/22 sailboat with a US Sailing-certified instructor and five campers per boat. Campers will be grouped by grade, 5th/6th and 7th/8th. Price includes lunch at the yacht club plus daily bus transportation to and from an Oak Park school. In partnership with the Columbia Yacht Club.
