Renewing what has become an annual event, Lewes Yacht Club Foundation volunteers hosted youth from Sussex Family YMCA Aug. 19 for a day of water activities, including swimming, sailing, paddleboarding and kayaking, as part of the club’s community outreach. Prior to getting out on the water, foundation volunteers provided a water safety course.
“Girls and boys experienced the thrills the Delaware Bay provides us every day, some for the first time,” said Chip Beaverson, foundation president.
The mission of the LYC Foundation is to provide funding to enhance the potential of youth in swimming, sailing, maritime activities and education.
