Remember when we were children, reading Scarlet Sails, we were carried away with Assol and Gray on a sea voyage? It was difficult for us to believe in this fairy tale and dream of traveling on a real sea vessel. For modern children, this is a reality. More and more families are choosing between package tourism and yachting with children. This is not only a tan and the sea, but also a real adventure! Moreover, with educational content
What is child yachting and what does education have to do with it?
Yachting with a children’s program is happiness in the eyes of a child. During the journey under sail, children live in real cabins, stand at the helm, learn to work in a team, get acquainted with the terms of sailors and try on absolutely all ship roles. If you are “wow” taught astronomy in school, come to class with children, they will look for constellations and learn to make a forecast, focusing on weather phenomena. During the day, swimming and picnics on a desert island. In the evening there is an open-air cinema on deck.
“I can’t keep track of him on land, but here...,” you might think. And you'll be wrong. Animators and counselors work with participants of children's regattas, children are always busy. The program is thought out to the smallest detail. They draw, launch kites, play, involve adults in their adventures. Most often, parents have a choice: take time for themselves while the children are busy, or actively join the program. The second is more fun for the whole team. But we understand that moms and dads also need rest
How is the game program built?
Children's regatta is usually done with a thoughtful and bright program designed for different ages. Since children are restless and their attention is quite difficult to attract, the entertainment and educational parts alternate, the tasks are extremely diverse. For example, while traveling under the sails of the Young Navigators Academy, which has been creating summer programs for children during school holidays for 5 years, children go through a real sea quest. From the very first day, they dive into the legend, according to which they search for a treasure, solve the mysteries of the Magic Book, overcome the obstacles of Fort Boyard, solve logical tasks, show their creative, leadership and team abilities. Every year the program changes, the organizers of all children’s travels strive to make them bright, interesting and unique. The most common question children after the end of yachting: “When will we sail again?”
Life and living conditions
Children and adults live in cabins on a yacht. And that's really cool! What's in every cabin? Two beds - "half-rooms" (there is enough space for everyone!), small lockers for things, a porthole. 5 cabins have 3 shower rooms with hot water and the same number of bathrooms. The participants of the trip prepare on the yacht, the products are purchased by general agreement at the markets and in stores. Local, fresh. Usually the kitchen during yachting is more diverse than in many hotels. Participants like to cook and have an atmosphere. By the way, children can also participate in the simplest moments of cooking. It's a family team building
At what age is it better to consider a children's yachting for vacation?
Usually the programs are designed for children from 6 to 12 years. But there are exceptions. It all depends on the child and his development. Modern organization of rest allows you to take on board even the smallest, when recruiting a group, additional boats are opened, on which caring hostess help mothers with everyday life and cooking.
Sailing is one of the most emotional types of vacation for the whole family, everyone will find something in it. If you haven’t tried, we can assure you, you’ve lost a lot! Make up!
