Small
Craft Safety–Sailing
This
Red Cross course was developed in collaboration with
the American Camping Association (ACA) and GSUSA to
meet the needs of camps and other organizations that
conduct small craft activities. The ACA will accept
the Small Craft Safety Program as meeting accreditation
standards for camps in the area of small craft supervision.
This course is designed to provide individuals such
as camp personnel, trip leaders, and those involved
in small craft activities the information and skills
necessary to prevent, recognize, and respond to small
craft emergencies. This course prepares individuals
for small craft emergencies by teaching them how to
protect themselves while helping others. It is also
for those knowing how to sail a way to be checked off
on their skills so that they may help with the sailing
program. Depending upon skill proficiency it may eliminate
the need to take the Basic Sailing course. This course
does NOT teach you how to sail.
