Independence, teamwork,

self-esteem, science, environmental stewardship, unplugged outdoor play and a passion for sailing. These are the goals of our Summer Sailing Camps!

In our Durango Summer Camp, kids learn to sail with top-notch ASA certified instructors. Classes begin with dockside instruction before hands-on training on the water. Our Junior Camp Leaders and Interns encourage beginner sailors and help grow their leadership skills. Students quickly develop an understanding of how to handle a sailboat and are soon solo sailing and crewing.

 

ASA Certifications

 
Core

All Genuine Learning comes from experience.

Complete your ASA 101 and ASA 103 Sailing Certifications close to home on Colorado’s Lake Navajo or Lake Nighthorse and save on costly travel expenses. After training locally you will be ready for chartering, higher level certification offshore, or boat ownership. Our certified instructors will prepare you for your sailing goals in an intensive course. ​​

Looking for a little bit of adventure?!

Peaks & Tides also offers ASA 103 and ASA 104 courses on the Sea of Cortez for the ultimate adventure learning experience!

 

If you can sail on a lake in Colorado, you can sail anywhere in the world.

Colorado’s dynamic climate and unique topography make sailing an exciting adventure. In just one day of lake sailing you can experience more active sailing than in an entire month on the ocean. Our skippers are well-trained in the unique mountain conditions of the southwest and can guide your sailing experience to suit your specific training goals or ideal charter conditions… whether they be on an inland body of water or the open ocean!
