We are a fellowship organization, promoting camaraderie among boaters on a local, regional, and national basis. Many social activities, both on and off water, take place throughout the year. Our organization's primary purpose is to promote boating safety by offering area sailors and power boaters courses in basic boating, navigation, and piloting. Our Public Boating Class is offered twice a year, spring and fall, at the Burnt Hills- Ballston Lake High School. This class is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and the State of New York and meets or exceeds all current state and insurance company requirements for boater education.
Instruction is free of charge, there is a nominal fee for books and materials.
Additional courses in weather, marine electronics, sailing, engine maintenance, cruise planning, seamanship, and advanced navigation skills are available to squadron members. Membership requirements are simple and straight forward. One must be at least 16 years of age for full voting membership. Once these simple requirements are met, a simple application form is completed and returned to any squadron officer. If you are interested in joining the Lake George Power Squadron, please call for more information.
