Sooke Sailing Association

Our main project is working on our sustainable kids sailing program in Sooke. With two one week Summer Day Camps in 2015 and 2014 three in 2013 and one in 2012 we are looking forward to a great 2016 where we will offer camps some time in July and August. Maybe even one day introductory classes in the schools. We have teamed up with Rush Adventures in Sooke at Coopers Cove and are really looking forward to what comes out of it.
Teaching children from the ages of 6 to 14 to safely sail and have fun on the water at Sooke. As the children get older they are confident to move on to racing, teaching sailing or advanced sailing classes. If you would like more information on the Program we are modeled after, Mobile Optimist Sailing School (MOSS) or want to sign up look below.
We do weekly keelboat sails on Tuesday NIghts at 6:00 PM (starting in June)and on Sundays during the shorter winter days, on the Sooke Basin or the straight or Juan de Fuca to introduce people to the joys of sailing. All ages welcome!
We have dinghy days periodically bring your own... hope to have some Laser II races.
There is also a Sailing Co-op in Sooke, an affordable way to introduce yourself to sailing or to keep your sailing skills up to date.
We accept donations towards purchasing dinghies and running our sailing school for kids 6 to 14 years old and can offer a tax deductable receipt through National Sport Trust Fund.
