Summer Sailing Camp for Kids

The LOSC is offering two 5-day sailing day camp programs for children in August 2018, in cooperation with BC Sailing's Mobile Optimist Sailing School (MOSS).  The first session will occur August 6 - 10.  The second will be held August 13 - 17.

This program will provide the basics of sailing for children from the age of 6 to 13.  In a fun environment, students will learn launching, docking, steering, balancing, propulsion, boat safety and other skills.  By the end of the program, students will be able to sail safely on their own.  In addition, the program develops confidence and leadership in its participants.  Optimist dinghies will be used.

No experience is necessary, but participants must be comfortable in and on the water while wearing a life jacket or PFD.  Professionally-trained and Sail Canada certified coaches will ensure every experience is a positive one.
