Junior Week Laser is a five-day sailing camp for sailors ages 12 and up who have outgrown Optimists or older sailors with limited experience who want to learn about Laser sailing. This class focuses on learning about the Laser and having fun with a larger, more dynamic boat. Set in the beautiful waters of Fishing Bay on the lower Chesapeake Bay, campers learn boat setup, sail trim, boat handling, and the unique characteristics of Laser sailing. Beyond sailing instruction, campers enjoy swimming at beaches and on boats, weather lessons, knots, seamanship, and exploring nearby locations. Set in FBYC's rustic, unplugged environment with dirt roads, picnic tables, screen porches, wildlife, and ample outdoor space, Junior Week teaches not just how to sail but how to live on the water through crabbing, critter-catching, beach exploring, shells, aquatic life, oceanography, currents, tides, and sometimes how to have grit—all while growing in courage, friendships, and laughter. Sailors must bring and use their own Laser. Parents or guardians must provide lunch and supervision during the lunch hour (12-1 PM). Additional family activities are offered after 4 PM some days, and the week concludes with group pictures on Friday.
