The CCA Sailing program is an add-on to our regular weekly programming. Senior Campers (age 7 and up) can sign up to participate in this weekly program on Tuesday afternoons at Arthur Beach. There is an additional charge of $40.00 per week for this program.
Campers will learn the basics of sailing Laser PICO's. This will involve learning the following basic sailing skills:
common sailing knots;
wind and weather awareness;
boating rules (including right of way, boating safety, and parts of the boat);
how to rig a sail boat;
positioning in the boat;
capsizing and righting a sail boat; and
sailing at points of sail.
Campers should come to this program prepared to get wet while on the water. There will be a dryland and on-water component to all sessions.
Please Note: we are not a CanSail (Sailing Canada) certified program. This program is intended to teach campers the basic fundamentals of sailing small recreational craft in local waters and encourage participation in the Ryestone Cup and recreational sailing on Georgian Bay.
