OPTIMISTIC SAILING COLONY 2025

Classes in the pottery studio (participants take their work home), hiking trips to Węgorzewo and to the historic cemetery from the First World War, walks in the area, field games, sports competitions (individual and group games), art competitions about sailing, sailing baptism, bonfires with sausages.

Daily sailing on deck or cabin yachts is open. The program is divided into groups – some people sail, some participate in other activities. Participants will gain knowledge about: rescue equipment, water safety rules, knotting, yacht control and proper sail operation. The instructors will also conduct theoretical classes on the construction of a yacht, the course of the yacht in relation to the wind, sailing etiquette, basic sailing concepts – all in the form of games and games. In addition, we will go on a full-day cruise on the Święcajty and Mamry lakes and on a rowing and sailing trip to the Nazi bunkers in Mamerki.

Fun for real adrenaline fans. It is a team game that requires strategic thinking and provides a lot of healthy movement, not a simple aggressive "shooter". Before starting, we will undergo initial training in safety rules, equipment operation and basic strategies. Classes are held on a fenced paintball field in the resort. We will not only play according to known scenarios, but also try completely new solutions. Each participant of the Pirate's Holidays sailing and paintball colony receives protective clothing, a marker, a mask and 1,000 balls for the duration of the colony. An instructor is always present during the class.

Masuria is not only lakes, but also beautiful, picturesque rivers. One of the most interesting and rarely attended is Sapina. Its trail is so short that it is perfect for a one-day rafting trip. During its duration, we will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of wild flora and fauna. With a bit of luck, we will see blooming water lilies or cranes in their natural environment. We will leave the resort by bus after breakfast, and in the evening we will finish the rafting by kayaking back to our port. Lunch break on the way.

Masuria is a paradise for lovers of water, bathing and water sports. Especially for them, we have prepared play proposals under the name "Water Madness", which includes a ride on a motorboat, a ride on a "banana" and a wheel towed behind a motorboat.

This is another dose of unforgettable emotions. Try your hand at overcoming obstacles in the largest rope park in Masuria! A total of 70 obstacles and 10 roller skates, under the supervision of qualified instructors. The participant will complete two of the five routes available after adjusting for height, age and own capabilities. The perfect attraction for any age group. We leave the resort by bus, which will take us to the Rope Park in Giżycko. After the participants have covered the routes, we have a lunch break (we provide dry food) and then a walk around the city.

"Sailor" by Andrzej Kolaszewski and Piotr Świdwiński – is a shortened and updated version of the book "Sailor and yacht helmsman" by the same authors, sailing textbook No. 1 in Poland since 1986. It contains a set of messages required to pass the exam for the basic sailing degree. The manual is recommended by the Training Commission of the Polish Sailing Association and can be used both by lecturers and organizers of sailing training, as well as by future sailors. Compulsory reading for all those who want to gain basic sailing qualifications and for those who want to improve their skills.

a songbook released on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the "Shanties" Festival. In the new edition of the songbook you will find over 500 songs, both those well known for a long time and about 130 new ones. Among them are those that won the Best Premiere Awards at Shanties Festivals.

Especially for adrenaline lovers, we have prepared a Buggy ride – an ultralight recreational vehicle used, among others, in Dakar desert races. During the 25-minute tour with our qualified driver, participants can feel a real thrill, wandering through the picturesque Masurian landscapes full of green forests and dirt roads. This is a great opportunity to take a break from everyday life for a moment and taste a real adventure.

we offer a unique additional option – a stylish sweatshirt with the "Wind Rose" logo. It is a perfect souvenir that will remind you of amazing adventures at the camp. The sweatshirt is made of high-quality materials for comfort and durability (100% cotton). Available in various sizes, it is ideal both for colder days of the camp and for everyday use after returning home.
