Sailing program work day
at
Camp Casa Mare
The sailing program will hold a “work day” on March
5 at Camp Casa Mare. The weather and the bay take a toll on

how to mend sails, repair lines, repair spars, identify damage
to boats and other equipment. This will enable needed repairs
to be made before the start of the new season.
