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.
