It is hard during this time of uncertainty to keep active, stimulated and engaged with the Club, as well as keeping up to date with your general well being.

Below are some ways to keep in touch with the CYCA, relive some of our blue-ribbon moments and connect with the sailing community, as well as some places to turn to if you need help.

 

It’s always hard keeping children (young and old) entertained and engaged in times like this. Have no fear as we have found some exciting educational platforms that allow them to learn about the world, our impact on the environment and what we can do to help, all through examples in the sport of sailing.

• The Ocean Race’s Champions for the Sea programme will help students (aged 6-12 years) discover the excitement of sailing, the importance of the Ocean and how Ocean health is threatened. Through the practical activities and worksheets developed, and using Social and Emotional Learning techniques (SEL) you and your children/students will be encouraged and empowered to take positive action for the Ocean with a true understanding of how we can all make a difference and become Champions for the Sea!

• STEM Crew is a FREE digital education programme for 11-16-yr olds. Each teaching resource harnesses the power and excitement of a professional sailing team to inspire your students. STEM Crew resources have been used in classrooms to teach over 150,000 young people. Where academic concepts are brought to life alongside real-world science, technology, engineering and maths.
