National Guard Camp Clinic

Over 70 youth experienced sailing instruction at clinics held at the Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association August 11 and 12.  As part of their summer camp experience at the Delaware National Guard Youth Camp, these students, some whose father or mother is currently deployed, participated in sailing activities in the classroom and on Rehoboth Bay. The event was sponsored by the Rehoboth Bay Foundation (RBF) and hosted by the Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association (RBSA).

During the event Preston Littleton Jr., the Secretary/Treasurer of RBF and known as Pal, presented grants in the form of checks to representatives of several organizations supported by RBF, who were there to conduct and assist with the class room activities.
