About Camp Seafarer

At YMCA Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer, we are committed to providing an environment where campers can peacefully reflect on their faith in a safe and supportive community. We strive to provide a camp experience that is rooted in the core principles and values of Christianity. We believe that each camper should have the chance to develop a relationship with God through their experiences at camp. We offer campers the opportunity to grow in their faith through worship, Bible study, and spiritual retreats. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

SAILING

Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer’s sailing fleet consists of Optis, Sunfish, Lasers, 420s, Flying Scots, Lightnings and Keelboats. Campers learn to sail on our smallest boats: Optis and Sunfish. Sailing ranks are taught in small classes with an instructor to camper ratio of 1:6. Each instructor utilizes a multitude of teaching techniques and environments, such as classroom sessions, land drills, water drills and practical demonstrations to explain the material. Campers are coached from within the boat and outside of it. This technique ensures campers have the opportunity to manage a vessel on their own in a safe environment.

SWIMMING

YMCA Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer know there is a strong connection between being a strong swimmer and being a strong mariner. Confidence in the water and confidence on the water are critical elements of Camp. We strongly believe in safety on and in the water and improving the swimming ability of all our campers. Therefore, we assess each camper’s swimming ability when they arrive at Camp. Each camper receives a swim band and has the option for daily instructional swim lesson taught by a trained swim instructor. We understand that our campers have varying degrees of skill, and we make every effort to ensure the swim test and the daily swim instruction are positive experiences.

CREATIVE ARTS

At Sea Gull, Creative Arts doesn’t include ranks which makes it a participation activity. Different projects are offered each day, and every week wheel-thrown pottery is offered. At Seafarer Creative Arts’ ranks start by teaching the basic elements of art. Then we teach principles of drawing, painting and color theory, printmaking, hand-build ceramics, and sculpture. We also teach wheel-thrown pottery and batiking.
