Have you ever wished you knew how to sail but now just don’t have the time to learn? Give your kids the gift of sailing by enrolling them in one of MacSailing’s premier camps taking place at their Jercicho or Kitsilano sailing outposts. A diverse program means there are plenty of camps to choose from including beginner, full- and half-day sessions, and multi-week-long racing camps for experienced youth. All camps combine fun with learning and skill building for an unforgettable summer experience on the water.
Run out of the Jericho Sailing Centre, this sailing school offers a variety of different instructional courses and water-safety training for kids aged five to 14. There are various different options, including learn-to-sail summer camps (both morning and afternoon sessions), racing clinics, private lessons and drop-in sessions. It’s a beautiful location to learn how to sail and the sailing center also has one of the better patios in town; it’s a great place to take your kids for lunch or dinner after camp – order fish and chips and watch the sunset!
Macsailing’s certified instructors offer learn-to-sail introductory courses at the Jericho Sailing Centre. The 24-foot keelboats are lighter and easier to handle for those who are just learning the ropes (so to speak). For advanced sailors, the school also offers competitive racing courses to prepare for regattas and cruising courses that cover anchoring, navigation and emergency procedures. Youth and adult lessons are available via private instruction, summer camps, multi-course packages or on a drop-in basis. There are also a variety of family-friendly programs, including catamaran tours and paddleboarding adventures for parents and teens.
