The Wayzata Sailing Foundation supports the ongoing operations of the Wayzata Community Sailing Center. Our mission is Sailing for Everyone!

The Wayzata Community Sailing Center offers the finest small boat sailing facility in the Twin Cities. WCSC is one of the largest community sailing centers in the Midwest. For over 30 years, WCSC has provided youth & adult sailing instruction on Lake Minnetonka with our programs now reaching almost 700 students. In the summer, the Sailing Center runs youth sailing camps for ages 5-16, summer race programs for ages 8-18, and adult keelboat instruction. The WCSC offers scholarships for those who qualify and also runs summer outreach programs in partnership with a variety of youth development organizations from around the Twin Cities area. In the spring and fall seasons, the sailing center staff also coaches four high school sailing teams along with the University of Minnesota Sailing Team in competitive racing. In 2009 the Sailing Center piloted an Adapted Sailing program for disabled sailors, and is continuing to provide adaptive sailing opportunities. Our future plans include expansion of these programs to provide more access to the sport of sailing. We hope to provide a powerful link between the community and the asset that is Lake Minnetonka.

    We each have our own story of how we were introduced to sailing and how we now have a life-long passion for the sport and a circle of friends that have come along with it. It is very hard for anyone who has attended one of these youth programs to say they have not been forever impacted by the experience; that they have not been influenced from their very first sailboat ride where they gained a confidence that can only be a given to the child through the helm of their very own an Opti. Can we imagine the good that is done through this introduction? The ideals of teamwork, leadership and self-reliance… Wonderful experiences that will impact that child’s future and their opportunities for the rest of their lives.
