Youth Sailing Camps

Accessible, affordable youth sailing camps for in the middle of the city.

These week long camps include land-based and on-the-water education in safe training sailboats, the Optimist. 

These boats are great, even for the youngest child. It is also among the largest racing class of boats in the world so for the competitive youth, there is a lot of room to grow with these boats.

Each summer we offer Sail Canada accredited CANSail learn to sail courses taught by Sail Canada accredited instructors.
