Youth Sailing Camps
Accessible, affordable sailing camps help youth develop skills including:
Our week-long sailing camps include land-based and on-the-water education using Club-provided Optimist sailboats. These boats are used globally as youth training sailboats for even the youngest of children.
All youth sailing camps are taught by Sail Canada accredited instructors.
 WetFeet (ages 5-7)
is a half-day, week-long introduction class with either morning and afternoon sessions. This camp focuses on getting a fun and safe introduction to the sport of sailing with age appropriate learning for this age group.
is a full day, week long introduction class. The primary focus of this course is to provide a fun and safe introduction to the sport of sailing. There are no prerequisites for this course. Mobile Sailing School  CANSail 2 (ages 8-13)
We are offering one - 2 week camp and one - 1 week camp. It is a full day, intermediate class. The prerequisite for this course is completion of CANSail 1.  CANSail 3+ (ages 9-14) is a full day, two week long advanced course. The prerequisite for this course is completion of CANSail 1 & 2.During this course, content will be taken from CANSail 3 through CANSail 6. Lessons will be tailored to the sailors in the group.
Our five day learn to sail and learn to race program teaches youth how to sail a double handed sailboat (the 420), and uses friendly / social racing to build and hone sailing skills. (Ages 12 - 17) After this course, youth could join the Youth Race Team. The Team sails in the full range of the Club’s boats… Lasers, 420s and 29ers (the 29er is the double-handed boat of the Canada Summer Games).
(note: apologies, this photo is of kids from our youth team sailing a SanJuan 21... we don't have a photo from the course with an instructor onboard with the kids, but we promise you an instructor is onboard during the course) Each boat has an instructor onboard with only three kids, youth receive a lot of coaching time as they rotate through learning and becoming proficient on the tiller, mainsail and jib. The SanJuan 21 is a smaller, stable keelboat ideal for teaching youth how to sail. Keelboats have inherent stability which allows sailors to focus on learning and practicing sail trim, steering and teamwork. Youth of all ages and experience levels wanting more sailing time, education and the thrill of racing sailboats might consider joining our Youth Team.
