PRE-SALE 10% DISCOUNT UNTIL MAY 1 // Our signature event, the Chèvres sailing camp, Chèvres back again this year! Two and a half intensive days by the water, learning to live with and manage the elements of nature: wind, waves, water, sun. This weekend is for those who want to enjoy a unique experience on the water. No experience with wind sports is necessary: this is an opportunity to learn, gain confidence, or review the basics if you have already done it before.
This wonderful collaboration with the Memphremagog Sailing Club began several years ago to help you develop the basic skills you need to sail and practice these techniques in a truly unique setting. It's the perfect opportunity to spend a weekend on the water and step outside your comfort zone while learning sailing techniques.
Possibility of obtaining a Brevet CANSail1 (depending on conditions)
Depending on the weekend's weather conditions, it will be possible to obtain certification if you wish. A theory exam must be taken at the end of the weekend to pass. Depending on wind and weather conditions, we cannot guarantee that it will be possible to pass.
