What programs do you offer?

We run kids learn to sail programs, including summer camps with age appropriate training, plus progression from Opti to C420 and options for teen sailing classes.

We take safety seriously and follow Sail Canada's national learn to sail program, with the CANSail program taught by trained and certified instructors.

How should I choose the right course level when registering?

When registering, please consider the level your sailor is at and the time it will take them to complete the next one, with Sail Canada recommending 1-2 weeks for beginner courses and 2-4 weeks for advanced.
