Programs run from April through August. Full day (6hr) and Half Day (3hr) sessions are offered. Programs can be catered to the needs of each group: we offer single day intro-to-sailing programs, as well as multi-day programs specially developed to cover Scouts Canada Sailing Skills Competencies. Programs can be one or two of the following activities:
Sailing
Sailors will acquire an understanding of ocean sailing conditions and develop a foundation for other water activities and basic water safety. They will learn how to safely interact with our local coastal environment in a fun, safe, and inclusive way.
Participants will sail on small sailing dinghies that each have 2-3 participants aboard. Skills covered include:
- Naming each part of the boat
- Figure-8, Bowline, and Reef Knots, and how to use them to rig a sailboat
- How to act safely on and around cold water
- How to wear a PFD
- How to steer a boat and control sails with a team
- And most importantly, how to have fun on the water with friends!
Canoeing
Our Canoe School programs offer students an unforgettable experience on the water, combining adventure, education, and teamwork. Available in both half-day and full-day formats, these sessions are designed to accommodate all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced paddlers. Students will learn essential canoeing techniques, water safety, and environmental stewardship while exploring local waterways. Led by expert instructors, our programs foster a deeper connection with nature and provide a fun, hands-on way to develop confidence and collaboration skills.
