KidSport Calgary
The Glenmore Sailing Club is a proud advocate for physical literacy, which is why it is important for us to identify barriers for youth participation in the sport and recreation of sailing.
As a proud KidSport Calgary Community Sport Partner, we understand cost should not be a limiting factor to a child’s ability to join sport and recreational programs. Our goal is to facilitate an active and healthy younger generation who share a passion for sailing that is affordable for any household.
The Club provides a 20% discount on Summer Camp fees (excluding before and after care fees) for youth and families receiving a KidSport support. The Club's discount plus the KidSport grant can cover the full cost of a Youth Summer Sailing Camp.
