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, recognize,
and respond to small craft emergencies. This course will also
prepare 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 RCBS course. Adults wishing to help with the sailing
program will find this course particularly useful. This course
does not teach you how to sail. Take the Basic Sailing Course
to learn how to sail.
