There is a forty year tradition of being a Don Lee Tweeker.  These campers form extremely close communities and lifelong friendships through wind, water, and the Word. This specially designed camp, popular with our youth age campers, includes all of the traditional Don Lee camping experiences of small group living, worship, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, archery, drama, crafts, and nature. The exciting feature of this 14-day experience is on sailing instruction and adventure trip sailing to points along the river and coastal area. This popular program is designed for both the advanced and beginner sailor. It includes sailing on a wide variety of vessels, including 14' Sunfish/Aquafin, and 19' Flying Scots. Basic sailing knowledge, skills development, and general water safety instruction are all covered through classroom instruction, hands-on practice, and on the water teaching sessions. The instruction is provided by US Sailing Small Boat trained instructors. The stand out feature of this excitng youth program includes three overnight sailing trips on the Neuse River . These trips incorporate their sailing, outdoor living, and group building skills together for a fun and unique experience for each group!

Campers will develop sailing skills, outdoor living skills, and teambuilding skills. They will build relationships with God, others, and nature while they live, work, play, and worship together in a small group community. Additional goals include trust, respect of others and self, and communication.
