Teaching Macomb County's Future and Current Sailors
North Star Junior Sailing is Macomb County's only community Junior Sailing Program. Our programs are open to any member of the community who has an interest in and desire to learn to sail. No yacht club membership is required!
Tuition for sailing lessons are kept affordable by offsetting overhead expenses through multiple fundraising methods organized by the board of directors and junior sailing parents, and boat donations which may be eligible for a tax credit and volunteers.
The sail boat training facility is located at North Star Sail Club. A half hour north of Detroit in Macomb County, Harrison Township Michigan offers sailing on the beautiful "Anchor Bay" of Lake St. Clair. Sheltered waters, ideal for your summer sailing lessons.
