Join Oban Sailing Club for the second year of our fun packed Wet and Wild Week for juniors this Summer. With fully qualified RYA instructors overseeing this adventurous 5 days on and near the water, you can be assured of getting wet, learning new skills, working in teams, laughing a lot and challenging yourself to try new and exciting activities.
What activities might I expect?
Activities will be matched to the changeable Oban weather but will include – Dinghy Sailing – get afloat and try a boat or if suitably qualified taking a dinghy out on your own. Drascombe Gig Adventures & games, sailing as a group to an island – exploring, picnics, scavenger hunts, team games, an introduction to powerboating, knot tying, raft building, rock pooling and a whole heap more……
Who is it for?
Two Age groups each week –
- Age 8 – 11
- Age 11 – 15 (starting S1 Aug ’25)
** You must be a competent swimmer to attend this activity. **
Please note: although on site at the same time, these groups will be doing many activities separately – so siblings in different age ranges may well not be together other than the start or finish and occasional lunches.
12 spaces are available for each age group each week.
Please send a separate booking for each child you wish to attend.
