As spring approaches, it’s time to think about venturing back outside, and what better way than by joining us a Beijing Sailing Center in scenic Beidaihe only 100mins away from Beijing. Our summer camps are fun, interactive experiences that provide young people with an unbeatable opportunity to develop skills that they can apply both on and off the water.

Sailing is a fantastic way of introducing young people to the great outdoors. The training boats we use are entirely powered by wind energy, and students must learn how to harness this energy in order to progress, thus gaining a greater understanding of and respect for nature. Sailing is a very green sport, allowing people to enjoy being on the water without having a negative impact on the environment around them. It also encourages a level of physical fitness, as students pit themselves against the elements. But it’s not all about physical prowess.

Sailing is also quite a cerebral sport, rewarding brains more than brawn. Students must react quickly to the every-changing circumstances afloat, thus developing an ability to ‘think on their feet’ as well as a practical understanding of the basic scientific principles involved in how a boat works. Once they have mastered the basics scientific, it’s time to move on to racing, where a student’s grasp of tactics and strategy is as important as his or her sailing skill. In sailing, there is always more to be learnt, thus it presents a genuine opportunity for life-long learning and development.

Sailing also encourages the development of strong interpersonal skills. Many of our boats require students to work together as a team in order to sail effectively, and they will quickly learn the importance of good communication, clear leadership and a team-oriented attitude, as well as gaining confidence in their own abilities.

All our programmes are organised in a fun, child-friendly format, with games and activities designed to ensure students are having a great time whilst developing and improving their skill, and we also offer a range of shore-based activities for times when going afloat is not possible. Our students’ safety is important to us: all our instructors are RYA qualified with UK first aid training, and we operate a fleet of high-speed rescue boats. All students are required to wear buoyancy aids, which we provide, and beginners are also issued with helmets for extra protection while they learn the ropes.

As you can see we have a lot to offer young people in terms of both enjoyment and skills development; for more information visit our web site www.beijingsailing.comor contact us on sailing@beijingsailing.com.
