Recreational Sports

There are other sports activities offered through the San Rafael Recreation Department and the Allen Sports Club through Dominican University. Please see below for some of the offerings.

SAILING

STEM Sailing is a FREE month-long, afterschool program offered to DMS students and includes both time on the water over at Richmond Yacht Club in dinghies/sailboats, as well as some awesome land lessons about oceanography, wind, buoyancy, etc. Normally this is a spring activity, but there may be a session offered in October. 

What is S.T.E.M.?​

S.T.E.M. is a curriculum designed to educate students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.  STEMsail seeks to reinforce these concepts utilizing sailing as a practical platform for learning with a special emphasis on sustainability and an awareness of our marine environment.

 

Why STEMsail?
We benefit our students by introducing them to the world of sailing – to get outside, to begin to understand and become curious about the world around them, to become self-reliant and at the same time to operate as a team – in essence, sailing develops character in so many ways.  Learning is more effective when it’s fun. Davidson is offering a FREE month long sailing class for 10-12 students.
