Insider Reviews & Perspectives
The Our Kids review of Nepean Sailing Club
“The goal is not to sail the boat, but rather to help the boat sail herself.” The Nepean Sailing Club introduces would-be sailors to the sport of sailing, and helps them develop their sea legs. Time flies by as kids and adults develop sailing skills in a fun and very hands-on way. Their award-winning program focuses on creating a safe and collaborative environment where kids are encouraged and have the freedom to explore and try out what they are learning. The Nepean Sailing Club is Canada’s largest and they cater to every level of sailor. Their camps incorporate both water and land sports, all of which help develop interpersonal skills, teamwork, and individual goal-setting and achievement. Leadership is a large part of sailing, and the instructors at The Nepean Sailing Club are highly-qualified and empower their students to become leaders as well. The equipment is well-maintained and they have a large range of boats, along with state-of-the-art facilities.
