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...
2025 Youth Sailing Camps Set Sail June 2
Exciting news—our Youth Sailing Camps are just around the corner! With eight sessions planned, classes are almost full, and many have waiting lists. This summer, we're offering beginner, intermediate, and advanced (racing) camps for kids ages 12–17. The strong interest in intermediate and advanced sessions shows us that young sailors are eager to continue beyond the basics!
Instructor and Volunteer Opportunities
We are actively recruiting additional instructors (a paid position with the City of Boise) and volunteers to join our team. f 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. Or better yet, come out to Spring Shores Marina on Tuesday morning, May 13, to see our sailing center and help prepare the outdoor classroom—we’ll be spreading donated gravel, so bring a rake and gloves!
The next chance to get involved is Friday, May 30, when we’ll be moving our youth sailboats to the docks, launching coach boats, and making final preparations for camps kicking off the following week. Join us and experience this thriving program firsthand!

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.
