Sara Lannin, 11-14 Years Section Head, introduces her plans for Summer 2016...
The 11-14’s this Summer is jammed with activities and our calendar is packed with exciting new ideas and plans. Similar to last Summer we plan to run the advanced group from the harbour and the beginner groups from the beach. Our aim for the 11-14 age group this summer is to instil a love for sailing and we plan to do this by introducing the kids to day trips and sailing excursions at this level for the first time. We hope to try do a day trip once a week to Blackrock Hill or towards Dalkey Island. We will have our lunch in our chosen location and sail home again. These experiences are truly unique and very memorable for the student whilst exciting and adventurous.
We plan to make this Summer fun filled for the 11-14’s and To ensure this we have created ‘Fun Friday’, on the last day of the course the instructors will run different water based activities like water fights, capsizing drills and ‘Soak the Instructor’. Fun Friday will of course include all the proceedings that ‘Cake Friday’ brings. This is where the children bring baked goods or treats on the last day and share them around to celebrate the great week they have had. ‘Cake Friday’ has always been a big hit and gives the children a chance to reflect on what an excellent week they have had. This Summer is definitely going to be a big hit with all the activities we have planned.
