Discover the Joy of Sailing on Biscayne Bay

The We Can Sail Program is a unique and enriching experience tailored for children with disabilities, offering them the opportunity to explore the wonders of Biscayne Bay. Designed with a "kids helping kids" approach, this program creates a safe, supportive, and fun environment where participants can enjoy a range of activities both on the water and on land.

What Makes We Can Sail Special?

Engaging Activities: Children get to experience the thrill of sailing, kayaking, and boat rides, along with a variety of land-based activities, all designed to be accessible and enjoyable for youth with disabilities.

Mentorship: Each participant is paired with a high school-aged mentor, trained to ensure safety, learning, and above all, fun. This mentorship adds a special bond, fostering growth and confidence in a nurturing setting.
