Southern Idaho Sailing Outreach

Community Learn to Sail Program

Sailing education program for youth in the Treasure Valley

Welcome to Southern Idaho Sailing Outreach

The mission of Southern Idaho Sailing Outreach (SISO) is to promote sailing and sailing instruction for the people of Southern Idaho, with an emphasis on youth education.

What's New with SISO...

 

SISO and City of Boise Conclude Another Successful Season of Youth Sailing

SISO and our partner Boise City Parks and Recreation concluded another successful season of youth sailing camps.  Our camps started in June and finished August 1st, graduating 75 kids in basic, intermediate, advanced, and an all girls camp.  Our intermediate and advanced classes continue to grow, and shows us that young sailors are eager to continue beyond the basics!  This year we offered two well attended regattas for our youth sailors to show off their racing skills.  See photos of our August 2 "Dinghy Thingy" Regatta  HERE.

 

Instructor and Volunteer Opportunities

We are actively recruiting additional instructors (a paid position with the City of Boise) and volunteers to join our team.  If you're passionate about sailing and teaching, certification scholarships are available to help new instructors get started. Volunteers are always welcome—seeing young sailors grow and master this exciting, complex sport is incredibly rewarding.  Interested? Send us an email at info@sailingoutreach.org

Sailing Education

We are dedicated to giving Treasure Valley kids the opportunity to discover sailing and develop the next generation of sailors. Sailing is a sport that fosters a sense of self-reliance and curiosity, builds decision-making and critical thinking skills, develops confidence and a sense of adventure. With SISO, it all happens under the watchful eye of certified instructors in a fun and safe teaching atmosphere.
