These one-week sessions are open to boys and girls.
In July and August, we will focus on the “fun” of sailing.
Shared sailing experiences in a variety of boats including double-handed dinghies, keelboats, and kayaks which will be led by female instructors.
On-the-water activities will introduce the basics of sailing in a fun experiential way.
Awareness of the lake environment will be part of the program.
Learning how to tip a boat and not get wet and sail an obstacle course in a treasure hunt are just some of the ways to learn how to sail in a fun way.
Skills such as teamwork, environmental stewardship, leadership, individual responsibility, and respect for authority will be stressed.
water crafts
Experience a variety of water craft with a fleet that includes Wayfarers (CL16), RS Fevas, SUPs and C420s. Highlights include cruising to an isolated beach for a BBQ, and possibly even as far as the Islands
kayaks
The instructor is a Sail Canada certified instructor and will be teaching techniques and skills found in the CANSail curriculum. Please note however, with a greater emphasis on fun on the water.
sailing dinghies
This course does not earn CANSail Certification. Of course, it serves to teach new skills, improve existing techniques and for many, will be a stepping stone to taking their levels at a later date
