Youth Program Sessions 2010

See Summer Sailing Camp information sheet (pdf).

2010 Staff positions available at the GRYC

Each summer the GRYC organizes a Youth Program consisting of four two-week sessions for children ages 9-16. It features Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) sailing levels from White Sail One up to Bronze Level Five.

The White Sail I, II & III

The White Sail camp runs five days a week, for 2 weeks, in a full day format.

White Sail session dates for 2010, will be:

Bronze IV & V

Bronze sailing programs requires 4-6 weeks commitment within or between seasons. Bronze programs run on race weekends, therefore on two weekdays there is no camp for Bronze sailors. See Session specific Bronze sailing schedule, in red, below.

Last year GRYC sent a team to The Fruit Bowl at the Hudson Yacht Club. This is a highly recommended, but not required activity for Bronze sailors. It runs from July 22 - 25th and requires parent volunteers to coordinate trailers for boats and to camp over with the GRYC team. Additional registration costs required. Last year the entry fee was $150 per person which included 2 days of clinics, lunch on all four days, plus dinner on Saturday. Breakfasts and Dinners prepared by volunteers (about $50) and GRYC Race Team Hoodies (about $30).
