DC Sail provides unique sailing and boating safety opportunities available to area youth each year!

Our programs focus on STEM-based (science, technology, engineering, math) curriculum including safe boating practices, environmental awareness, leadership development & physical fitness.

It is only with your help that we can make this possible! 

During 2016, DC Sail issued $53,000.00 in scholarship value to area youth.

DC Sail, a program of the National Maritime Heritage Foundation, is the only community-based non-profit sailing organization in the District of Columbia. Our program revenue and your donations make it possible for DC Sail to provide opportunities for the youth of our community to learn how to sail and gain knowledge in boating safety.  

The goal of our youth programs is to teach young people the skills they will need to be successful sailor and lifetime skills such as teamwork, decision-making and respect for our fragile waterway systems and overall environment.  

Donations also help fund scholarships for our young prospective sailors to attend our summer camp, "Kids Set Sail," and our expanding High School Racing Program. A day of summer camp, for example, is $75. Please consider a donation to sponsor a young sailor!

Additionally, DC Sail is in launch preparation for a campaign for the replacement of our Flying Junior race sails which are used in our adult and youth programs. You may select the category where you wish your donation to be credit in the links below the form.
