Though it may seem like the key word in our name is Sailing, given that that’s primarily what goes on here, or even Center, given that we’re a specific place, I believe that it’s actually the Community that is the focus of the CSC. When I started working at the CSC about two months ago, I didn’t know any of the other staff members, renters, volunteers, or campers. However, at this point in the summer I feel very much a part of a great community of people here at the Sailing Center.
Sailing is truly a group sport and is helpful in building community where one may not yet exist. Through sailing, neighbors, classmates, families, and friends can learn to communicate and understand each other more fully. I have been amazed in my time here at how eager everyone at the Sailing Center has been to teach me things about sailing, about the lake, and about the region we’re in. Through partnerships with many local organizations, we provide opportunities for everyone in the community, and I believe we are succeeding in building a strong community of lake lovers.
