Sail Sand Point was incorporated on September 25 1998, in Washington State as a 501(c)(3) corporation. Sail Sand Point is located at the North Shore Recreation Area, on the campus of Sand Point / Magnuson Park on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle. During these years, SSP has created sailing and small boat programs for youth and adults from the greater Seattle area. These programs have broug
ht in youth and adults of all ages to participate in summer camps, year round youth racing clinics, adult classes, open sailing opportunities, boat storage and a variety of partnership programs. We have offered programs at a modest cost to encourage all members of the community to participate. SSP is focused particularly on youth and the development of lifelong skills of sailing and personal qualities of character, leadership and the awareness of environment. Programs started in 1999 have expanded greatly and now in 2011, we are offering new and creative programs and are experiencing an enthusiastic response. Our traditional programs continue to be successful, with a high rate of return of students and instructors. In order to fulfill our mission of providing affordable access to the water for everyone, SSP offers 1/2 and full scholarships to children between 5 and 17, and opportunities for adults to volunteer in exchange for boat use and classes.
