The ones that come up in conversations:
"Have you heard about those sailing camps in Pirita?"
The camps where children come home tired, sun-kissed, full of stories, new friendships, and new confidence.
Where they learn much more than sailing — they learn teamwork, independence, responsibility, and courage.
Five days.
Countless memories.
SailingCamp isn't just a summer camp.
It's an adventure they'll remember long after summer is over.
🌊 See you on the water.
SailingCamp Inspire
Meet the Champion
SailingCamp Inspire is a series of inspiring encounters with outstanding athletes and people who have achieved success in their field. Every week kids meet a new guest, ask questions, hear their story and take home motivation that stays with them for a long time.
Success story
A live, unfiltered account of the guest's journey to the top.
Questions & answers
Kids ask the questions that matter to them — honest and open.
Photos & autographs
Memorable shots and autographs to keep the meeting alive.
Inspiration to win
A surge of energy and confidence kids carry with them.
First guest of the series
Deniss Smoldarev
Estonia's top MMA heavyweight
Discipline, persistence and self-belief — that's what makes a champion. I'm glad to share my story with the kids and show that dreams are within reach.
Second guest of the series
Deniss Karpak
3× Olympian, World Champion, 8× Estonian Sailor of the Year
Sailing taught me the most important lesson: it doesn't matter how strong the wind is — what matters is how you set your sail. I'm happy to pass this on to the kids and show that persistence leads to your dreams.
Third guest of the series
Nikolai Novosjolov
World Champion, double European Champion, 3× Olympian, head coach of the Estonian national fencing team
Fencing is chess at the speed of lightning. Every move is a decision, and every defeat is a lesson. I'm happy to share with the kids what sport taught me: you can only win when you're not afraid to lose.
Every week — a new story that can change someone's life.
Parent stories
Happiness is real
"A huge thank you to the whole team — Deniss, Egor, Vladimir, Igor and Marina. It was our first time and we had our doubts (mostly about the weather). Eva was absolutely thrilled — every evening she came home with piles of stories and impressions. The weather doesn't matter when there's genuine enthusiasm, support and team spirit. And a special shoutout to the chef for the home-cooked food! 🏄♂️🌊☀️"
Marina"Huge thanks to the whole team for this incredible week! For the kids it was a truly powerful experience. The coaches put their heart into every child — combining discipline with genuine care, and the boys came home with shining eyes every day. Organisation, atmosphere, personal attention — all top-notch. Deniss, thank you for the strong, positive energy you pass on to the children. And a very special thank you to Marina for the delicious food and care!"
Marina"We were visiting Tallinn for a month and our 11- and 9-year-old English-speaking sons had a fantastic week. The instructors did a great job accommodating children in English, Estonian, and Russian. They learned sailing, enjoyed paddleboarding, and came home excited every day. Highly recommend to both local and international families!"
Beena"My son attended with no prior sailing experience and by the end of the week had gained real confidence on the water. The coaches created a wonderfully positive dynamic — each day got better than the last. We've already committed to another week this summer. Highly recommend!"
Kimberly"Every evening my son came home with new impressions and genuine delight. In the first days he was so tired he couldn't even eat dinner — he'd fall straight asleep. But his eyes were shining with happiness! Every morning he rushed back to camp with pure enthusiasm."
Tetiana"Deniss, thank you so much to you and your team for a wonderful time for our kids. For our son it was his first camp experience — and it turned out incredibly positive, fun and sporty!"
Inna"Heartfelt thanks to the whole team and Deniss personally for the laughter, boundless joy, inspiration and love for children. It was absolutely amazing!"
Ilona"Thank you so much for this week — Demid is thrilled, so many bright positive emotions, and the weather was amazing too."

Why sailing
Why sailing changes children
Five reasons why thousands of parents choose sailing for their children — and keep coming back after the first summer.
Development
How sailing builds self-confidence in children
When a child steers a sailboat on their own for the first time, something special happens. It's not just a skill — it's the moment they realise: 'I can do this.' Sailing is unique because it places children face-to-face with a real challenge — wind, waves and their own fears — and helps them overcome it through action, not words.

Teamwork
Sailing and teamwork: why a boat teaches better than a classroom
There's no room for lone wolves on a sailboat. Even on a small Optimist dinghy, a child learns to read the wind, the water and — most importantly — other people. Teamwork on the water is a living lesson in trust, communication and shared responsibility for the outcome.

Physical Health
Physical development through sailing: body, balance and strength
Sailing is a full-body workout that engages core muscles, improves coordination, develops balance and builds endurance. And children don't even notice they're 'doing sport' — they're just sailing.

Nature & Health
Children and nature: how the sea reduces anxiety and sharpens focus
Research shows that time spent near water lowers cortisol levels, improves sleep and boosts concentration. Sailing is not just a sport — it's regular contact with nature that changes children from the inside out.

Life Skills
Sailing as a school of life: skills that last forever
Reading the wind, making fast decisions, staying calm under pressure — these are sailing skills that children carry into real life. Sailing is one of the few activities where a child learns to manage the unpredictable.
