CANSail 1 & 2 Day Camp Kids aged 9 to 17 Students receive quality instruction stressing safety, fun, and learning. They are introduced to many different elements of sailing, safety practices, and seamanship. They will develop new skills in boat handling and sailing for both fun and competition! Sail Canada certified instructors teach trainees, and successful trainees receive Sail Canada certificates from CANSail 1 to CANSail 4. We emphasize safety and low student-to-instructor ratios per Sail Canada guidelines. With our flexible week-to-week program, your child can move up through the levels as the summer progresses. Youths’ skills and experience are evaluated on the first day of camp, and an appropriate boat is chosen for them. Beginning sailors will be taught on the two-person Pico or the three-to- four-person CL16. ONEC day camps are offered from July to August.
