Our Mission

"All Sailors are Friends"

The MLSA offers a summer sailing camp for children over age 8 who live in Mountain Lakes. All lessons and activities include children of both genders and all ages, skill levels and athletic abilities.

Our goal is to teach the sailing culture — camaraderie, honor code competition, self-reliance, resourcefulness, responsibility and leadership — based on the philosophy that "all sailors are friends." We encourage children to emerge from the rivalries formed at school or at home and become part of the world-wide community of sailors, which has been the foundation of the sailing culture for generations.

"Now then, said Christopher Robin, "Where's your boat?" "I ought to say," explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island, "that it isn't an ordinary boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident, It all depends," "Depends on what?" "On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it." - Winnie-The-Pooh by A. A. Milne.
