The Outer Harbour Sailing Federation (OHSF) is proud to offer inclusive, high-quality sailing and windsurfing experiences for youth near Toronto’s Cherry Beach through its Outer Harbour Sailing Camp (OHSC) and the Toronto Windsurfing Club Youth Summer Camp. Together, these programs aim to make sailing and windsurfing accessible to all young people, inspiring a lifelong love for the sport.
The OHSC provides sailing instruction to nearly 300 children aged 7 to 17 each year, with around one-third of the participants coming from local Boys and Girls Clubs and other community organizations—at no cost.
