Sailing with Adam Beaudin - July 9 - 13 AM

 

  

Swiss Adventure Camp instructor Adam Beaudin has great pleasure sharing his sailing passion with camp participants. With a team of no more than 5 participants he will make sure that you not only learn the ropes, but that you have the right techniques and have a great time setting your sail to the right course. Adam spent more than 10 years of his youth focused primarily on racing sailboats and windsurfers. He spent a summer as a sailing instructor at the International Sailing School teaching sailing by day and racing every evening and weekend. It's that level of commitment that made him one of America's top junior champion sailors and he brings it to every one of our camps, making him one of our most prized teachers. His specialties are tactics, strategy and sail trim. Join Adam and set sail as a team on beautiful Lake Zürich!
