Instructors, chase boats and sailing vessels (Optis and 420s) are provided by AHSEP, but parents are needed to help with boat transport. Lunch is also provided each day.

AHSEP Adventure Week (Open to Advanced 2026 AHSEP Sailors by invitation) August 10-14

Traditionally held the last week of our program following the Sweepstakes Regatta, this is a special week of sailing for sailors who exhibited advanced skills during our summer program based on the assessment of our Program Director and Instructors. During adventure week, sailors take on new types of sailing vessels like Catamarans, Sunfish and Lasers and go on long distance sails across to Sandy Hook. Every day of Adventure Week will have its own theme and a new adventure for the sailors. The week is capped off with a chance to sail as crew on larger hull vessels made available by Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club members. During the summer, sailors skills will be assessed for a potential invite to participate in Adventure Week and registration and payment will be handled offline.

AHSEP hosts an annual BBQ open to all sailors and families, which is held at the Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club to celebrate our summer sailing season.
