Lake Forest Sailing is one of the best sailing programs in the country and
a phenomenal city resource.
We have programs for 5 year olds and up. Whether you want to learn
to sail for fun or become a college all-American or Olympian (as past
participants have done), we have the programs and ability to help you.
Sailing is a lifelong sport the entire family can enjoy. When a young person
gains control of their own vessel in the waters of Lake Michigan, they gain
an exciting confidence that will only grow. All of our instructors are U.S.
Sailing certified and trained in safety and instruction. As you look through
our offerings, please do not hesitate to call the sailing office with any
questions at 847.810.3666.
