Community Giving
Capitol Hill Yoga will feature a new charitable giving opportunity each quarter. The program’s mission is to draw attention to the cause and to further the education and enrichment of our community locally and globally.
July - September 2010: Kids Set Sail
Kids Set Sail (KSS) is a summer day camp offered through DC Sail, the community sailing program of the National Maritime Heritage Foundation. The goal is to teach young people the skills they will need to be successful sailors, the educational components behind how a boat functions, and lifetime skills such as teamwork, decision-making and respect for our environment. Sailing teaches skills that are used on and off the water and these programs instill lessons that last a lifetime.
KSS summer camp is for students of ages 7-14. KSS seeks to increase students’ knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as they relate to sailing. KSS engages youth in physical fitness, teaches leadership, teamwork and decision-making skills, and helps youth develop a sense of accomplishment in an unfamiliar environment.
Please join Capitol Hill Yoga this summer in sending cool breezes to the Kids Set Sail program. To learn and/or give more please click here.
Capitol Hill Yoga will donate 25% of proceeds from our monthly “Turn On, Tune In, Bliss Out” workshops to Kids Set Sail. Our restorative workshop is a peaceful way to spend your weekend afternoon and it is open to students of all ages and abilities.
