School holidays are upon us again! Families across Canberra are looking for exciting ways to keep the children active. Good news, there is a brilliant option right on the water. The Canberra Yacht Club (CYC) offers truly fantastic sailing courses. These programs are a perfect way to break up the school routine. They turn regular kids into confident junior sailors.
The Tackers program is specifically designed for children aged 7 to 11. It’s safe, fun, and all about getting comfortable on the water. Children learn the basics of steering and balancing a small dinghy. They are supervised closely by experienced instructors.
What a great way to spend a long Canberra day! Importantly, the CYC courses generally run from 8:45 am to 4:00 pm. This is a brilliant full-day activity for parents needing coverage. You can drop them off and know they are having fun.
The Out There Sailing program is designed for teenagers, specifically those aged 12 to 17. These courses focus on improving existing skills or learning completely new, challenging ones. It’s perfect for the teen who is looking for a real adventure. They gain confidence, learn teamwork, and develop a strong sense of independence. Sailing is a magnificent skill they will carry for life.
The Canberra Yatch Club is located conveniently in Yarralumla. This means drop-offs and pick-ups are simple and scenic.
Beginners are absolutely welcome at all levels. Experienced juniors can also build on their current abilities. However, these courses are extremely popular.
If you want a spot in one of the seasonal programs, you definitely need to book quickly. It’s an easy way to give your child an amazing, active, and screen-free holiday.
