Learn to Sail

Learning to sail builds confidence and opens up a fun-filled world of blue water adventures. Our sailing classes follow the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) curriculum. No previous experience is required to learn boat handling procedures and seamanship in a safe setting. Each sailing class is tailored to build on the previous lesson and prepare you to cruise as both skipper and crew in familiar waters by day. The course consists of two classroom sessions and three days on the water instruction.
Your instructor, Ian Douglas, has been sailing since he was a teenager. He is a CYA Instructor, Transport certified skipper, photojournalist/marine park ranger and recently completed a four year circumnavigation with his family on Sea Star.

Group Size: Minimum # minimum 2, maximum 5
Workshop Price: $600

Biking Better

Three workshops on offer

How to buy a Bicycle that suits you. Knowing where & how you will ride defines the style of bike you need. Knowing how to get properly measured makes the bike fit like a custom dress/suit, etc

How to equip yourself & your bicycle bicycle for all conditions Don't give up riding just because it rains! Taught by someone (over 60) who rode 110 km to work every week in Ontario winter conditions. It just takes practise. (The doctors tested my heart and I scored a 97% last month.
Workshop

How to make it last between tune-ups Just a bit of preventative and maintenance knowledge will make your cycling investment last, your rides more pleasant, and your trips to the bicycle shop less frequent. A toolkit ($50) and an optional tool bag ($19) for under your saddle will mean you will never be stranded by a flat or minor roadside problem. I mean, who would drive their car without a spare wheel, a jack and a tire iron? Cyclists go out without pumps all the time. Don't be that kind of cyclist.

Price: $20 each Group Size: maximum 12, Minimum 5.
