What a month

At Shake-A-Leg

Hello, Hola, Ahoy Shake-A-Leg Miami Community!

What an incredible summer it’s been at Shake-A-Leg Miami! Our campus was alive with excitement during summer camp; the laughter of campers, the splash of paddles, and the spirit of teamwork filled every corner of the bay. Together, we created memories that will last a lifetime, and we couldn’t have done it without you. 

Now, as we roll into fall, we’re back to bringing even more smiles and waves! Our We Can Sail, Seaworthy, and Marine & Hospitality Vocational Program and Veterans programs are opening their doors once again, welcoming participants for new adventures and learning experiences on the water. And with Bay Days and Regatta season just around the corner, there’s plenty more excitement ahead. 

Thank you for always being here, supporting our mission, and helping us make Biscayne Bay a place where everyone belongs. Here’s to another great season of growth, joy, and community!

Kicking off the season  is the M32 Worlds, The Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta, the Bacardi Winter Series, Etchell winter series, J7’s, Melges 20, and more.
