Each summer, Mathews Yacht Club partners with the Mathews Family YMCA to offer youth (ages 8-15) beginning sailing instruction on small sailboats. 

The YMCA Youth Sailing Program is held at the Mathews Yacht Club. It is lead by experienced sailing instructors and volunteers from Mathews Yacht Club. We look forward to seeing you at our club this summer!

We also partner with the YMCA to provide Youth Swimming Lessons.
