CAMPS

Camps, along with yacht clubs, sailing clubs, windsurfing clubs, and sailing schools are the foundation of the Sail Canada membership program. There are over 40 camps currently members of Sail Canada.

Camps become members of Sail Canada through application to their respective Provincial Sailing Association (PSA). The annual membership fee is paid to the PSA, and half of that is forwarded to Sail Canada. The annual membership fee is a flat rate, $175 per year. For further information or to become a member camp please contact your provincial sailing association or the Sail Canada.

In order to offer Sail Canada programs, courses must be taught by current Sail Canada instructors who are certified at the appropriate level
