Our Volunteers

The success of the Program’s sailing camps is the result of the dedication and expertise of a team of volunteers. Most of the volunteers are experienced sailors who have informally taught others to sail- both adults and youths.

Steve Babcock

Steve is a recently retired physics and environmental science teacher and Louisiana Science Teacher of the Year. He is a certified rescue diver and competitive stand-up paddle boarder. His sailing experience consists mostly of dinghy cruising and camping around the central Gulf Coast. He is excited to share his passion for the water with the next generation of sailors!

Henry Barrouse

I began sailing in 1970 in a 12 ft. sloop-rigged dinghy.   I grew up through numerous boats to my current boat, a 30 ft Hunter which I have owned, maintained and sailed for 41 years.  Most of my sailing has been along the central coast of the Gulf of Mexico, between Mandeville and Panama City, including the numerous barrier islands in between.  For the last 20 years, I have belonged to the Corinthian Sailing Association of Lake Pontchartrain.  My activities now consist of maintaining my boat and sailing in the various races of the Corinthian Sailing Association.
