Giving Tuesday 2026 saw the start of O-AT-KA\u2019s newest fundraising campaign, dubbed: The Winds of O-AT-KA<\/em>. O-AT-KA is striving to raise $125,000 for a new fleet of sailboats that will reinvigorate and upgrade our sailing craft and regattas. Our current fleet of sailboats is over 20 years old and coupled with the fact that O-AT-KA saw a lot of success in regattas throughout 2025, as we placed in four of the six we participated in, it became apparent that now was the time to invest in our sailing program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailing has always been an important and prominent part of O-AT-KA\u2019s programming and character development. Not only is sailing a unique and special way to enjoy Sebago Lake, it teaches campers: resiliency, problem solving, decision making, teamwork, sportsmanship, communication and strategy. For those that haven\u2019t had the opportunity to sail, it is much more than putting up the sail and steering the boat, there are numerous external factors that everyone in the boat must completely understand in order to have a successful trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In so many ways, our sailing program represents the soft skills that we instill at O-AT-KA; which is why we\u2019ve decided to invest in this program at this time. If you\u2019d like to participate in our campaign, you can click HERE<\/a> or navigate to our \u201cGive\u201d page on the website. This is an important campaign for O-AT-KA, and we\u2019d be honored if you able to participate in it with us. Throughout the campaign, I\u2019ll be posting updates as we approach our goal so continue to check our website for the latest status<\/p>\n\n\n\n
