What’s it all about?
Join Oban Sailing Club for a new 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 to 11 (just finished P6 heading for P7) Age 11-15 (starting S1 Aug ’24 – S4)
** You must be a competent swimmer to attend this activity. **
Please note: although on site at the same time, these groups will be doing all activities separately – so siblings in different age ranges will rarely be together other than the start or finish and occasional lunches.
10 spaces are available for each age group each week.
Please submit a separate booking for each child you wish to attend.
What Kit do I need?
You’ll need to bring:

- towel
- a change of clothes
- warm coat and hat (for over the top of a wetsuit, for shoreside activities)
