Dana Point Youth And Group Facility
The Dana Point Harbor Youth and Group Facility is a center dedicated to the promotion of boating, sailing and safety around the water. The one-acre site is the nucleus of many youth and group programs. Girl Scouts, Saddleback College, Boy Scouts, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary are just a few of the organizations that use the facility for public instruction, and recreation.
This instructional waterfront facility opened in 1985 on Columbus Day, with expanded docks and three beautiful buildings including the 3,500 square foot Dana Cove Room with kitchen and stage, administration building located in the center of the site, conference room, and 3 classrooms, storage and showers.
The facility offers public programs for youth and adults. The activities encompass everything from basic boating, rowing, canoeing, sailing, marine safety education, summer camps, and tidepool walks. Educational and recreational programs of a broader nature are also offered.
The 8,000 square feet of public buildings are also available for rental from family gatherings to business conferences.
