America True and Sailing Education Adventures Partner to Bring Youth Sailing to Marin City Kids

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 24, 2004

America True in partnership with Sailing Education Adventures has launched “Camp Clipper” at Clipper Yacht Harbor on Richardson Bay, located just one mile from Marin City. The camp is a two-week pilot program that provides low-cost and scholarship paid sailing lessons to area youth. This first program has been subscribed to by Marin’s Performing Stars program that reaches low income and multi-cultural children in Marin County with the opportunity to participate in the performing, visual and literary arts, and to “reach for the stars.”

“Camp Clipper” Sponsored by Sausalito’s Fish Restaurant and Clipper Yacht Harbor

Special Media Day, Wednesday June 30th 10:00am – 1:00pm

The program was made possible by the financial contribution of Fish Restaurant who is also providing meals for the campers prepared by Fish co-owner and chef Chad Callahan, formally executive chef of Masa’s.

On Wednesday, June 30th Camp Clipper will host a media day at Clipper Yacht Harbor, the site of the camp. Local media will get the chance to meet the campers, staff, and organizers including America True CEO, Dawn Riley as well as sample the food from Fish Restaurant.
