Glenmore Sailing School

Fun activities

It isn't perfect, sometimes you will encounter issues, just as you would with any summer camp. But learing to sail is a fairly unique experience for this province, and this is certainly one of the best places to send your kids for camp, let alone for a person to learn how to sail in general.

In my years of lessons I saw many shy kids thrive socially in the welcoming environment the instructors foster. While both my sister and I were not thrilled initially with the idea of the camp (having had many poor camp experiences in the past) both she and I had a lot of fun in our respective classes, and made new friends every year.

The camp mixes a lot of aspects, theory, technical skills, and physical activity (typically in the form of camp games), but the priority of the instructors has always been to maximize time on the water. However, even when the weather does not permit, they somehow find something productive to do. Also, at the end of each week they do a fun themed event.

Things to keep in mind:
-dress for the weather
-don't wear open-toed shoes or crocks (unless you fancy an injury)
-You may not fall in, but YOU WILL GET WET. bring a change of clothes (warmer than the first), and a small towel.
-drink lots of water
-triple check that you aren't bringing your phone on the boat or dock.
-If your sunglasses don't stay on your face well, you might as well throw them in the reservoir right now.

Oh and... if your shoes get wet, wash them (or at least soak them in soapy water) as soon as you get home. It may get turned into drinking water... but until then, it does NOT smell good a day or so later.

The guy with the nifty sunglasses was great, nay, amazing. He demanded respect and authority, results were clearly guaranteed. 10/10.

Sailed here since I was 11, came back every summer for my love of sailing and the energetic environment! Congrats on sail program of the year for 2019!

Great place to sail. #1 sailing school in Canada. Kudos to Braden and the staff team.
