WETFEET (iCANSail)

About

Jump aboard for an unforgettable week of fun, discovery and adventure! Our WETFEET camp is the ultimate introduction to sailing and water safety for young campers taking their very first step into the Sail Canada learning journey.

Led by our friendly, certified Sail Canada instructors, campers will learn the basics of sailing aboard our small, stable Optimist dinghies — the perfect boats for building confidence and balance on the water. Through hands-on activities, they’ll master steering, boat control and safety skills, while also paddling, splashing and exploring.

Between sailing sessions, kids will dive into creative land-based games, crafts and team challenges that bring the magic of sailing to life. Every day combines learning, laughter and adventure — making it the perfect way to spark a lifelong love of the water!

Location: Programs take place in Toronto’s Inner Harbour and surrounded by the beautiful Toronto Islands, guided by our experienced team.

Weather plan: Most activities happen outdoors and on the water (weather permitting) with fun indoor programming provided on rainy days.

Grouping: Campers are divided into Junior and Senior groups on the first day to ensure age-appropriate learning and coaching.

Prerequisite: No experience needed — just a love of fun and adventure!

Certificate: Campers work toward their (WetFeet) iCANSail Sail Canada accreditation.

Sailing Camp Safety

Safety is our priority — all campers in our marine programs are provided with a Personal Floatation Device (PFD), and proper use of the PFD is strictly enforced. Campers are welcome to use their own Transport Canada approved PFDs if they prefer.

In addition, all WETFEET (iCANSail) and CANSail 1 participants are provided with a helmet, which must always be worn while on the water.

Sailing campers are under the guidance of experienced and well-trained instructors from our partner, Toronto Harbour Nautical Centre.
