Welcome to the Central Wisconsin Sail & Power Squadron!
Our squadron is a unit of the United States Power Squadrons® (USPS)
and is a member of District 10 which covers
Minnesota
,
Wisconsin
and
Upper Michigan
. Organized in 1914, USPS is a
non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more
enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects. Our
members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting
safe boating through education. We
enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water and in the classroom. USPS
has about 30,000 members organized into 450 squadrons and 33 districts across
the country and in some
US
territories. USPS is
America
's largest non-profit boating organization.
We serve the central and northern area of
Wisconsin
from
Eagle
River
in the north to
Westfield
in the south and
Amherst
in the east to
Marshfield
in the west. Our members enjoy
boating on inland lakes and rivers including Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and
the
Mississippi River
. Occasionally our members have
boated in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Intra-Coastal Waterway and even
the San Juan Islands in the
Pacific Northwest
.
We welcome into membership anyone who is interested in boating
responsibly. We teach safe boating
courses to the public every spring and fall.
Advanced boating courses are offered to our members throughout the year.
All of these educational activities are done with the thought that
“Boating Education Saves Lives.”
Our squadron performs many civil service projects throughout the year
including providing free vessel safety checks, teaching safe boating to the
public and participating in other boating safety projects in the schools and
community.
Our members meet monthly for a time of fellowship and to enjoy programs
usually relating to marine topics. We
enjoy many member benefits such as lower marine insurance, discounts on marine
products and much more. For more
