The Conanicut Island Sailing Foundation offers a diverse array of programs designed to foster a deep appreciation for sailing among enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. From introductory courses aimed at beginners to advanced training for seasoned sailors, their programs combine expert instruction with hands-on experience on the scenic waters surrounding Conanicut Island.
Participants can choose from youth sailing camps that emphasize safety and skill development, adult classes focused on honing technique and strategy, and specialized workshops covering topics like navigation and racing tactics. Whether you’re looking to embark on your first sailing adventure or aiming to refine your competitive edge, the Foundation provides a supportive environment where passion for sailing thrives year-round.
CISF runs a sailing and marine education summer camp called Jamestown Sea Adventure Camp based out of Fort Getty in Jamestown, RI. There are camp weeks for children ages 4-16 at a variety of times. Camps are one week long. Children learn sailing basics and are introduced to all aspects of the marine environment. No week of camp is the same, so attending multiple weeks of camp is common. No sailing experience is necessary to participate.
While CISF does not require submission of financials, scholarships are given out based on the need of the individual (and/or family). Priority is given to full-time Jamestown residents. Scholarships are accepted on a rolling basis. If more than 3 weeks has passed since your application submission and you have not heard anything from us, please reach out to Meg Myles.
Donations of cash, securities and estate planning are all welcome. To make a donation of stock, please contact Meg Myles. To donate boats or equipment, please scroll down the page further for more details. Please contact Meg Myles should you have any questions or for help making a gift.
