Providence Recreation - Sailing Camp

Providence · $125/week

Two-week sailing camp for youth aged 10-15 at the Fox Point Community Boathouse.

▌ Editor's read The Providence Recreation website (rec.providenceri.gov) loads successfully and lists various programs, including a 'Sailing Camp (2 week session) (8/3-8/14)' under its aquatic offerings. The camp is run by the City of Providence Recreation Department, indicating a municipal-parks ownership type. The website does not provide specific details about the sailing camp itself, such as curriculum, staff qualifications, or safety ratios, beyond its name and duration. There is no mention of ACA accreditation or state licensing for this specific program on the general recreation page. Social media handles for Providence Recreation are @provrec on Instagram and 'ProvidenceRecreation' on Facebook, which showcase general department activities but not specific sailing camp details. The lack of specific program information on the website makes it challenging to assess detailed aspects of the camp.
