Summer Camp Youth Sailing Foundation June 2011 at the Moorings

A deal was made between the Youth Sailing Foundation and the Moorings Yacht Club and the Summer Sailing Camp was born. I was not involved at the onset, thus I am not sure how it all came about. I am involved now so I can tell you something about it as it is in process. You may have seen a few items in the Press Journal about the Youth Sailing Foundation of Indian River County during the past few weeks. I did.
