The Outer Harbour Sailing Camp is a dynamic, inclusive, and high-calibre sailing experience near Cherry Beach, Toronto. Our mission is to make sailing accessible to all youths, fostering a love for these sports regardless of socioeconomic background. We were previously known as Water Sport Camp.

Program Schedule:
Dive into adventure during July and August! Our courses run Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering the perfect blend of fun and learning under the sun.

Our Essence:
As a tight-knit, volunteer-led initiative under the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation, we’re more than just a program; we’re a community dedicated to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equality in sailing. Our certified instructors are passionate about delivering CANSail accredited training in an environment that’s safe, equipped, and designed for fun.

Program Highlights:

  • CANSail Certified Instruction: Engage in one- or two-week sessions with expert guidance.
  • Facilities: Enjoy our sheltered launch areas, expansive green spaces for games, shaded retreats, a welcoming clubhouse for rainy days, and secure fencing.
  • 2014 Season Success: Last summer, we welcomed around 300 young sailors, with 95 benefiting from subsidies.
