New Housing Program
FBYC’s Junior Program is also pleased to present a housing new program designed to
provide working parents an alternative to making frequent trips to Deltaville so
their kids can participate in junior sailing. We have developed this program in
cooperation with Christchurch School who already runs boarding camps from their
facilities located off Highway 33 just east of Saluda. The school is able to
provide our sailors with daily housing, meals and transport to and from FBYC
from June 18th till July 14th including Junior Week (June 18-22nd) and
then on a more limited basis from July 30th until August 17th (blackout 6-9th).
Our kids would spend their days at FBYC practicing their racing skills or learning
to sail and then return by bus to Christchurch in the late afternoon to end their
day with dinner at the school cafeteria and fun with their evening programs
(games, movies, music). Each morning, they will rise, have breakfast and get
on the bus back to FBYC to join their sailing classes or on regatta days, be
picked up by parents to travel to away regattas. Christchurch will make sure
kids are fed, cleaned up and in bed at a reasonable hour and supervised during
their time on campus. A boxed lunch is provided for them to take with them
to FBYC each day. On days when there is no sailing classes at FBYC (such as
Mondays) Christchurch will provide our kids with the opportunity to participate
in their choice of ongoing summer camp activities such as fishing trips,
crew boating and marine science programs.
The cost for this is a very reasonable
at $50 per day (al la carte) or $250 per seven-day week (Sunday afternoon till Saturday evening).
