Portraits of Sails and Smiles on Lake Michigan Hoosier Burn Camp Adventure

Recently, GT Sailing partnered with Hoosier Burn Camp for a sailing adventure. We began the journey amidst the water, with the campers of the Hoosier Burn Camp in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Our GT Sailing crew showed campers the fundamentals of sailing, like tying basic knots, adjusting courses based on weather, and how to read the telltales.

The Hoosier Burn Camp provides for children and teens that have sustained burn injuries. They also offer then support year-round and give them experiences to help them make friends, build confidence, and form a sense of community. GT Sailing’s Lake Michigan trip was for teens in the camp, designed to get them to experience somewhere new.

The sailing journey ended in Lake Macatawa, where the campers, sailors, and support staff finished a fun day with a pool party and pizza.

Here at GT Sailing, we love the Hoosier Burn Camp’s mission and teaching sailing on Lake Michigan. Mixing both allowed everyone to have a wonderful time.
