by We are excited to share that the OHSF Water Sport Camp started July 3rd and runs until August 25th. We are running 4 programs this summer and 1 postseason, including:
Wet Feet
This is a program for children aged 7 to 9. It is designed to slowly introduce children to sailing, focusing on comfortability and basic sailing theory. This group sails in Optimists in the sheltered harbour. The program builds friendships, confidence and self-esteem.
CANSail 1/2
This is our learn-to-sail program for sailors aged 10 and up. No sailing experience is required. Sailors learn to sail in a range of sailboats, visit the beach and play games. We emphasize fun and fundamental movement skills. Sailors are assigned to groups based on their experience, skill and if they have friends in the program that they wish to sail with.
CANSail 3/4
This is our advanced sailing program and is for sailors who have completed CANSail 2 and want to work on CANSail 3 and/or 4. Sailors will learn advanced and performance sailing skills.
Level the Playing Field
OHSF Water Sport Camp and Toronto Windsurfing Club have come together to rebrand the previous No Fare program. The goal of this program is to generate more inclusivity, diversity, and equality in niche sports communities. We have expanded outreach and are excited to be working with new agencies such as Brown Girl Outdoor World, Access Alliance, and The Black North Initiative. In addition, to continue working with our long-time agencies.
Fall Sailing
We will also be running a fall sailing program in September. This will be our second year running this program. It is designed for sailors with basic to advanced skills who are motivated to continue working on their CANSail levels.
OHSF Water Sport Team
This summer our team is made up of 7 instructors, 5 of which came up through the OHSF water sport camp program. This speaks to the camp’s ability to create memorable and meaningful experiences that resonate with the sailors as well as the unique community we have built at OHSF water sport camp.
The OHSF Water Sport team is looking forward to the exciting summer ahead!
Warmly,
Keisha Aitchison
