Crimson Sailing Academy offers summer camp and team racing programs. It rents Harvard University facilities but is neither sponsored nor controlled by Harvard University.

Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
