Outer Harbour Pilot Youth Water Sports Program 2010

What is the Program?

This pilot program will provide week-long courses to introduce sailing or rowing to youth who would otherwise be unable to afford to participate.

The Courses

There will be three one-week sessions in which rowing or sailing will be taught to youth aged 13-17 years. Each week-long course offers the participants the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the sport taught by skilled instructors in an enjoyable way and in beautiful, natural surroundings on the Toronto waterfront.

Each course is free and all equipment for the sport will be provided. On completion of the week the participants should gain the first level of competence in the sport and a certificate to take home.

As well as on the water instruction there will be some on land training. Use will also be made of the beach facilities at Cherry Beach for picnics, beach volleyball and optional swimming in the lifeguarded area, The sports are weather dependant and if the wind is not cooperative more time will be spent on land. If it rains, the sports will continue if other conditions are suitable.
