To all of our amazing sailing school students, thank you for making this season so special! We are truly grateful that you chose the Community Sailing School @ Pistakee to be part of your sailing journey. Whether this was your very first time on the water or you returned to build on your skills, you brought enthusiasm, determination, and a spirit of adventure to every class. We hope you not only learned how to sail, but also gained confidence, made new friends, challenged yourself, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Watching each of you grow as sailors and individuals has been our greatest reward. On behalf of our instructors, volunteers, and Board of Directors, thank you for being part of our sailing family. We can't wait to welcome you back next season as we continue Changing Lives, One Lesson at a Time!

Our Mission is to serve the Chain O’Lakes community as a Regional Learning Center. We partner with non-profit organizations to continually create and deliver life-changing experiences for people of all ages and abilities. We bring the unique growth experience and challenge of learning to sail to all people in our community, regardless of background, ability and financial considerations. 
CAN YOU LEARN TO SAIL IN THE MIDWEST?  The answer to that question is an overwhelming YES! The small lakes in our region consistently produce some of the country's best sailors. The protected waters of our lakes provide a perfect venue to learn the basics of sailing, not to mention the racing opportunities that also exist, allowing you to learn and hone your racing skills. Don't let the best that summer has to offer pass you by. Come out and join us. See you on the water!
IS SAILING FOR EVERYONE?  One of the primary aims of our sailing school is to introduce people to the sport of sailing and break down barriers, either perceived or real. Our classes start with offerings for youth age 4 and up. We also provide introductory classes for adults and families. Sailing is a sport that can be enjoyed for an entire lifetime. It is a great way to make friends, while enjoying the natural beauty of the Chain O'Lakes.
