Sailing/Kayaking/SUP Summer 2024: Week 2
Monday-Friday, July 1-5*
The UNH Community Sailing Centre (UNHCSC) offers a variety of sessions for students ages 5-18 of any ability. Sessions are offered in 7, one-week formats, Monday-Friday. Morning sessions run from 9am-12pm. Afternoon sessions run from 12:30-3:30pm.
All classes are physical in nature. Sailing is highly conceptual, and students learn at different rates and in different ways. The program allows for these differences by helping kids master the requisite skills at their own pace. Students wear Lifejackets and PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) at all times while on the docks or in boats. Students in Guppy must provide their own PFD; all other classes can use those provided by the Sailing Centre. Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times.
Swim Check: Students under the age of 18 are required to pass a swim check at the start of each session. The check is a swim of 25 yards and treading water for 5 minutes. The Guppy check is done with life jackets on and is 15 yards swimming and 2 minutes treading water. Contact diana.weidenbacker@unh.edu if you have any questions about the swim check.
Details regarding drop off locations, times, and other information is sent to enrolled participants prior to the session start date from program staff.
All sessions are held at the UNH Community Sailing Center (UNHCSC) at Mendums Pond in Barrington, NH.

Online Registration Instructions: please review before enrolling for the best outcome. Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account. Be sure you know which type of account you have and know your username and password. We recommend you attempt to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.
If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. When you create a new account, the email address provided in the profile should be that of a parent/legal guardian, not the participating student.
Account balances are due by May 1, but can be paid before that date. It is the family responsibility to make a timely final payment. Please be aware of our Summer Youth Program Payment & Refund Procedures. To request a drop from a Youth Program, email youth.programs@unh.edu or contact the Program Manager. Please include the full name of the participant and clearly state the camp and session(s) to be dropped.
CampDoc: UNH has partnered with CampDoc to quicken the enrollment process. Enrollments and payments will still be done here through our current enrollment system, but no registration questions will be required at that time. Within a few days of enrolling, the email provided in the Student/Family Account will receive an email prompting completion of the registration questions.
It is important that a parent/guardian respond to the CampDoc email and complete the registration questions promptly. Families who enrolled a child through our current enrollment system in 2023 will likely already have a CampDoc account. A parent/guardian still needs to log into the student’s account and complete any necessary questions for this program/year. A participant’s CampDoc profile must be 100% complete before they can attend the program.
For more information, review our “CampDoc” page.
