LTS has been a leader in teaching youth and adults how to sail for 56 years. Our program provides the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence necessary to enjoy the sport of sailing. All Little Traverse Sailors programs operate from the shore side facilities of the Little Traverse Yacht Club on Bay Street in Harbor Springs, MI.
Each student will be working through a ranked sequence of skills and knowledge which will take them from Seaman Third Class through Skipper and Jr. Leader. Achievement awards will be given. The staff is US SAILING and Red Cross certified. Most instruction is from safety boats and on occasion, by onboard instructors. This program stresses safety, fun and learning.
LTS is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
