Program provided in partnership with Windsure
Campers will either skimboard or participate in beach programming, dependent on the tide and weather conditions.
First-time and beginner skimboarders will learn the proper technique of “throwing” the board and skimming across the sand. They will be introduced to basic maneuvers such as “180′s” and “shuvits”. Intermediate riders will learn an assortment of flatland maneuvers and experiment with ramps.
On days where the tides are unfavourable for skimboarding, campers will spend time on the beach learning about local wildlife, such as eagles and seals; tides and how they work; and take part in group games and activities.
We always try our best to maximize our campers' time on the water! Sometimes conditions such as storms, cold/rain, or a lack of wind can get in the way of our plans. In these cases, we try to get participants out on the water for at least one hour per morning or afternoon. We also take this time to play beach games and learn sport theory, with safety a top priority.
NOTE: Camp will not run on statutory holidays (Tuesday July 1, 2025 and Monday August 5, 2025).
Required Equipment: Bring a bathing suit, towel and water shoes. Also pack a water bottle, snack(s), lunch, sunscreen, sun-protective accessories and layers (hats, sunglasses, sun shirts), and weather appropriate clothing for colder/rainy days. An eyeglass retainer (strap) is required for participants who wear glasses or sunglasses.
Location Details: Please check-in with our staff at the Windsure table, located at Gate 4 of the Jericho Sailing Centre. The gate is located near our beach hut. ID will be required from the accompanying adult for pick-up and drop-off.
