The NYC was founded in 1894, and was first known, charmingly, as the National Yacht and Skiff Club. It’s grown and changed over the years, but throughout has remained a cornerstone of sailing in the city. The location, to be sure, is one of the benefits—accessible by public transportation, it’s also a place of escape, a chance to get away from the bustle of the city and mess about in boats. The club remains an expression of the community it serves, and is also host to a number of annual regattas. When campers arrive, they enter that world—the culture of sailing, the community it represents—and are granted an opportunity to escape within it while also learning essential skills from some of the best. Certified instructors make it fun, active, and exciting, all within the shadow of the Toronto skyline.

Washrooms Facilities
More details about accommodations: National Yacht Club has several large outdoor tents and a large clubhouse, with multiple rooms used by the Sailing & Racing School, as well as bathroom and shower facilities on-site. Each group will have a specifically designated meeting location for all on-shore activities - drop off, lunch, poor weather, pick up, etc.

More details about property: Campers spend most of their time sailing on Lake Ontario, but also can be found rigging and de-rigging boats in the boat yard, playing games on the Club lawn or enjoying indoor activities in the Clubhouse during inclement weather. We have a gated facility and parents will be granted special access for drop off and pick up. During camp sessions our participants may also visit the local park and splash pad or go for a fun adventure sail to the Toronto Island beaches.
Available for private rentals: Yes
We offer private, semi-private and group lessons per request for both adults and children. Each private session is tailored to your skill level. Please contact us for schedule - times are limited.

Hello Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for looking into the National Yacht Club Sailing and Racing School for your child this summer!
As a graduate of the program, I can tell you that this camp will be a wonderful adventure for your child. They will of course be having fun outside and learning new skills, but this camp will also help with self-confidence and problem solving as no two days on the water are exactly the same.
We have successfully run our sailing school for over 60 years, and have taken that time to grow and innovate. We have kept up to date with the latest teaching methods (all of our instructors are CANSail certified) and used our expertise to tailor them to best suit our campers.
This camp is great for children aged 7-18, and is great for all levels - from people who have never set foot on a boat (CANSail 1) to those who have a lot of racing experience (CANSail 5/6). These days in particular, this is a great opportunity for kids to socialize outdoors.
After running a safe and successful program in 2021, we look forward to another great summer!
Hope to see you on the water,
Gabrielle Blais-Jones,
Vice Commodore - Education

NYC delivered a great experience for my son. Nothing but good reports about instructors. Overall, NYC - good vibe.
Our daughter has been in the program at NYC for 8 years and before that we knew of the program through our own sailing. If you want to introduce your child to the thrill and skill of sailing, National has a great program with friendly staff. A fabulous way to spend summer in the city!
My son had a blast at sailing camp and he plans to return next summer! The instructors and staff were fantastic and the program was well organized and offers a unique opportunity to learn to sail. Overall - a wonderful experience - thank you!
