All Sport One Day - Introduction to Sailing

Saturday June 15, 2019
All Sport One Day is an amazing opportunity for Calgary children and youth to try a new sport. It’s also a chance to discover a new passion. With over 70 exciting activities to choose from, parents or guardians can enroll children (ages 6 and above) in up to two FREE sessions for a day of fun and adventure.

The Glenmore Sailing Club will be hosting an Introduction to Sailing program for All Sport One Day.

Introduction to Sailing
Youth will have 30 minutes of "sailing and safety" instruction before getting into the sailboats for 30 minutes of sailing. The Club will have 8 Optimist sailboats on the lake for this event.

This discovery session is tailored to introducing the fundamentals of sailing to youth 13-18 years old up to 68 kg / 150 pounds.

Sailing will take place close to shore so adults and friends will have great viewing of the kids enjoying their introduction to sailing.

The Boats
The Optimist is the most popular youth training sailboat on the planet (there are hundreds of thousands of these youth training sailboats enjoyed by youth around the globe).
