About Darien Junior Sailing Team

For over four decades, the Darien Junior Sailing Team (DJST) has been giving local children the opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of sailing. Founded in 1972 at Weed Beach, the non-profit organization is supported by the town of Darien, but is entirely self-funded and organized by parent volunteers. Every year, the program runs for two three-week sessions, open to children between the ages of 8 and 14 in the Darien area. Most of the participants come in with minimal, if any, prior sailing experience. The DJST has been introducing Darien's young people and their families to the joys of sailing for almost half a century. Founded in 1972 at Weed Beach, the program is a non-profit, supported but not affiliated with the town of Darien. The city provides the use of Weed Beach, and the program is entirely self-funded and organized by parent volunteers. It runs for two three-week sessions and is open to children aged 8-14, many of whom have no background in sailing.
