      <title>June - Small Boat Intro to Sailing Class (Mon, June 08, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Discover the joy of sailing with our upcoming "Learn to Sail Small Boats" class! Whether you're seeking a fresh challenge or a relaxing way to spend your free time, these six day class offers the perfect blend of classroom learning and hands-on experience. You'll start with two classroom sessions to build on your sailing basics, followed by four on-the-water sessions where you put sailing theory into action. Best of all, the classroom sessions are completely free — making it easier than ever to start your journey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;The on-the-water training will be on Lasers and Sunfish which are single-person boats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;Successful completion of this course will result in CLSA Certification, which allows members to sail the club small boats.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;Our course sessions will be held from 6:00-8:00 pm on Monday &amp;amp; Tuesday evenings over 3 weeks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Youth Sailing Camp (Sat, June 20, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Ubuntu" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We will be conducting our Youth Sailing Camp on June 20th.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This engaging class invites young sailors to explore the exciting world of sailing, empowering them to take command of their own vessels. Participants will journey through essential sailing principles, participate in hands-on capsize recovery drills, and experience an hour of on-the-water sailing. Young captains will navigate nimble Optimist dinghies or sleek Laser sailboats, mastering the art of harnessing wind and water. Meanwhile, parents are encouraged to watch their young sailors' progress and cheer them on from one of our safety boats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Tuition for this class is $50 for each child to attend. The morning session starts at 9am, an early afternoon session starts at 12pm, and the late afternoon session starts at 3pm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Please select the appropriate enrollment option as we need to accommodate sailors with an appropriate boat based on their size.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Ubuntu"&gt;A lite barbecue lunch will be included for students and volunteers at 11:30am.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In partnership with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, CLSA will be hosting the Youth Sailing Camp at the &lt;a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/hxZC6y7HBFZcn48dA" target="_blank"&gt;Parnell Boat Access Area on Clinton Lake&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>August - Small Boat Intro to Sailing Class (Mon, August 10, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Discover the joy of sailing with our upcoming "Learn to Sail Small Boats" class! Whether you're seeking a fresh challenge or a relaxing way to spend your free time, these six day class offers the perfect blend of classroom learning and hands-on experience. You'll start with two classroom sessions to build on your sailing basics, followed by four on-the-water sessions where you put sailing theory into action. Best of all, the classroom sessions are completely free — making it easier than ever to start your journey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The on-the-water training will be on Lasers and Sunfish which are single-person boats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;Successful completion of this course will result in CLSA Certification, which allows members to sail the club small boats.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;Our course sessions will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Monday &amp;amp; Tuesday evenings over 3 weeks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
