Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center 505 Lake Street, Burlington, VT 05401

"This place is spectacular! This is the second year my son participated in their summer camp. They offer a wide variety of activities for all ages so everyone in the family can find something they enjoy. Their summer camp counselors are kind, supportive, and fun. Their facilities are clean and accessible to all. I highly recommend you to visit and explore their programs!"

"Went for a 2 hour sailing with instructor Alex as a refresher course. It was quite memorable and knowledgeable experience. It was great knowing Alex as a person and sharing some conversations."

"Our daughters attend camp here this summer. This was our first experience with the Sailing Center and they were navigating new waters with the recently released COVID guidelines. Everyone was absolutely fantastic. It was clear I could trust them to both keep my kids safe and show them a good time (and they both came out knowing some more about sailing too)! Highly recommend."

"Kind of hidden area unless you know it's there. I walk here frequently and it's a nice quiet peaceful area, and now a good truck. Good place for sunsets"

"Few know about this Burlington gem because the building is so new. We were actually the first couple to get married here and we are still thanking our lucky stars we stumbled across it. The Sailing Center is the PERFECT place to have a wedding. The conveniently covered third floor deck protects you from the elements while overlooking gorgeous Lake Champlain and let me tell you, that evening was nothing short of magical :) Warm summer night, a lake breeze... We also had access to their waterfront promenade and dock for the most romantic sunset pictures! The venue deck is very spacious, we comfortably hosted around 80 people and were able to have both the ceremony AND dinner reception all in the same space! See attached pictures ;) It could easily have hosted more people. There was also access to other rooms including a conference room, large classroom and warehouse area which REALLY helped in the preparation process, and, they even let us borrow hanging lights and tables! We honestly felt like we were being treated like royalty. John Nagle was a godsend from beginning to end; he was our contact and so very flexible, so patient. He was very responsive to all our questions and let us visit the deck numerous times to make sure we had everything planned right. He even stayed late our entire wedding to make sure it went without any snafus. We so appreciated his and the rest of the Sailing Center's kindness and only wish we could get married there AGAIN :D! More pros: LARGE elevator. The DJ, food and rental vendors had no problems whatsoever getting what they needed up to the deck. Bathrooms on site, very big and clean! Also there is an attached observation deck included in the venue rental and it's a neat, quiet little place for your guests to get away :) Cons: There is not a parking lot; your guests will have to utilize street parking and that includes paying the meter. There are currently a little over 80 public parking spots just outside the building, first come first serve. Also, there is a chance the Sailing Center will be hosting their kid camps which was not a problem for us - we got married late in the afternoon after the programs had finished - but might be for some. Definitely check in with the Center on what their schedule is that day."
