Marine ecology summer camps

No. Many campers are brand new to the water. Programs are grouped by age and experience, and instruction is adapted so everyone progresses safely and confidently.

We supply life jackets and wetsuits where they're needed. Bring a jacket, a change of clothes, soft-soled shoes that can get wet, a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle, plus extra warm layers on cool or wet days. It can feel cool on the water even when it's sunny.

Half-day camps run Monday to Friday, with a morning and an afternoon session to choose from. Book any morning and any afternoon in the same week for a full day, and save $65.

Come in through the main south gate by the parking lot and bike racks. On the first day, check in at the yellow tent just inside on your right. Pick-up is at the west gate on the waterfront side, at the northwest end of the centre.

Jericho Sailing Centre has a pay parking lot with hourly parking, and a 15-minute stopping zone for quick drop-offs and pick-ups.

Level 1 builds the fundamentals and confidence. Level 2 adds independence and skills. CANSail levels follow Sail Canada's progression and lead to certification.

Camps run rain or shine. When it isn't safe on the water, activities move on land. There are no refunds for weather.

Cancel at least 14 days before the camp starts for a refund less a $50 fee, or a credit for the full amount, valid for 2 years. Free changes to a similar camp up to 14 days ahead, if there's space. The full rules are on the Program Policies page.
