COME ONE, COME ALL to our first two 2026 fundraising events! Chow down on some delicious dogs at Miller's Dog n Suds in Ingleside, IL. They are graciously sponsoring us and donating 10% of all sales made during the hours of 4:00pm and 8:00pm on Tuesday, April 21st to our sailing school. We will also have a booth set up there with all sorts of goodies for you to choose from. So, please stop on by to appease your appetite and to help a good cause. Thank You!!!
Our second event will get you jumping up and down, not only for joy, but also to play some volleyball, if the mood strikes you. And if not, just come on out to cheer on our teams and to indulge yourself in some really delicious pizza and a cold beverage or two at Halftime Bar and Grill in Johnsburg, IL.  The Volleyball Tournament will take place on Saturday, May 9th from 12:00pm to 2:00pm on some of the best sand volleyball courts around. A big shout out goes to Halftime for hosting our event and also for being one of our sponsors. And guess what, our traveling sailing school booth will also be set up for your benefit! The good news is there are still several spots available on the teams, so if you have a hankerin' for playing a game or two, please contact us asap. It would be great if you could join us!  Thank You!!!
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.
