HSC—generally safe for kids!

Thinking of enrolling your son or daughter in HSC's Youth Program this summer..? Here are some facts to help you make that decision.

First, sexual harassment charges against club leaders have been dismissed. Also, the Outdoor Programs Coordinator was removed last year, so he isn’t around (much) anymore. In addition, we try to harass anyone we don't like into avoiding the lakefront altogether—just incase they're a sexual predator, an east-coaster, or some other undesirable type. (Note however that the sexual harassment charges mentioned above were against Hoofer leaders who are all still around, so we can't really harass them into leaving.... in fact, they're the ones who do most of the harassing.)

Also, you'll be happy to know that recreational drugs* aren’t allowed at Hoofers! The only real dangers are lacerations, concussions, and drowning.

So sign your kid up now! We guarantee your child won’t die while learning to sail at Hoofers! HSC—now a proud member of ASA.

NOTE: We don't consider alcohol a drug, so we can't guarantee your child won't smell the sweet nectar of beer, tequila, Malibu^(R), whiskey, wine, wine coolers, Russian vodka, secret HSC mixers, and other refreshments that have been sloshed all over the lakefront by drunken Hoofer leaders and instructors. This is Wisconsin after all.

What concrete pier?

Lift-in 2012 at Limnology is officially a success! With only a few minor glitches, and lots of standing around. Thanks to Pete, Dan, Fred, Barry, Paul, Mark, and all the others who helped make it work. Getting the large crane was a good move and obviously necessary to hoist the boats over the tree.

To Union Director Guthier, our favorite criminal and savant: How did you know we didn't need the concrete pier to get the boats into the water?

More photos soon.
