Mark your calendars 🗓️ Sailing camp will be taking over Love Sign Beach
June 19–21, 2026, SailFest 250 will bring Cape Charles Harbor to life with tall ships, traditional boats, and a once-in-a-generation celebration of America’s 250th anniversary!
With that, this is more than a festival—it’s a chance to get out on the water, share stories, and help create unforgettable memories for families and kids.
As part of SailFest 250, the Sailing Camp will offer public sailing from Love Sign Beach on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, along with hands-on activities like knot tying and burgee painting.
This is where you come in. We’re inviting volunteers and sponsors to help make these on-the-water experiences possible. Whether you’ve sailed before or learned through camp, this is a meaningful way to give back and introduce new sailors to the magic of SailFest.
Saturday and Sunday afternoon 2-hr shifts helping with sailing, knot tying, and burgee painting.
Please be sure to select “Sailing Camp” in the additional information box when signing up.
Join us for SailFest Cape Charles, an official VA 250 celebration featuring tall ships in Virginia's Eastern Shore. Experience maritime history as part of America's 250th birthday in Cape Charles, Virginia.
