At Community Sailing New Orleans, we believe sailing is for all.
This video shares the story of how a simple idea—making sailing accessible to all—has grown into Louisiana’s only community sailing center and a vibrant hub for education, adventure, and connection on Lake Pontchartrain.
From introducing children to the water through summer camps and STEM programs, to preparing teens for maritime careers, empowering women to take the helm, supporting veterans through therapeutic sailing experiences, and ensuring individuals of all abilities can experience the joy of being on the water, our programs use sailing as a platform for exploring new things, building skills, and making new connections.
We are thrilled to welcome you to YOUR community sailing center. Check out our programs and come spend some time on Lake Pontchartrain with us!
