Small Craft Safety-Sailing
 If
you KNOW how to sail a Sunfish sailboat on all points of sail
by yourself, this course is for you. This Red Cross course
was developed in collaboration with the American Camp Association
and GSUSA, to meet the needs of camps and other organizations
that conduct small craft activities. The American Camp Association
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,

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 RCBS course. Adults wishing to help with
the sailing program will find this course particularly useful.
