Spring & Summer camps for 15-17 year olds
Fun packed water-based activities during the school holidays
UKSA’s popular spring and summer camps are designed for all ages and abilities, for children who are looking to get out onto the water, learn new skills, make new friends and have some fun. Our spring and summer camps designed specifically for older teenagers (15-17 years old) include an action-packed programme of sailing and watersports activities during the day and an itinerary of exciting social events in the evenings.
About the course
Our spring and summer camps can be booked as a fully residential experience or as a non-residential day camp at our secure 4-acre, waterfront base in Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
Teenagers are supervised at all times by our experienced and safeguard trained watersports instructor team throughout the day. Those on residential courses enjoy an evening social events programme run by our expert evening entertainments teams.
Choose to join us for a 5- day camp running Monday to Friday, or a 3-day camp which runs from Friday morning to Sunday evening.
The 5-day camp qualifies for the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Residential Award.
