On behalf of the entire Waegwoltic team, I am delighted to once again welcome back all of our members, and to offer our new members an introduction to the myriad of exciting, active, and high-quality programs we offer our diverse membership. This year, we‘re so pleased to introduce our new Waegwoltic Summer Day Camp—Camp Waeg— for our membership, suitable for ages 5-11, and running from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday (excluding holidays). This camp has been designed from the ground-up by our programming team to offer Waeg members a convenient, safe, active, and unparalleled environment for their child this summer. The camp offers convenient drop-off and pick-up times, an affordable and healthy (optional) lunch plan, exciting weekly themes, and so much more. This is the camp our members have been waiting for, and we‘re thrilled for it to get underway. Spots are limited, so be sure to register early to reserve your spot! Registration for Summer Camp and all youth programming will begin on March 29th, at 10am. Often, we hear members say that the Waeg is their ―cottage in the city‖. Again and again, we see members and their families join us every day of the week – some with 80+ years of membership under their belt, and others whose families join the Club generation after generation, all creating summer memories that will last a lifetime. We hope you enjoy every aspect of your time at the Club and take full advantage of everything the Waeg has to offer. As we enter into the 2016 season, it is our genuine wish to make The Waegwoltic the best, most desired club of its kind in the country. To that end, we continue to review every element of the club and its operations. To assist in that process, we sincerely extend you the opportunity to assist us in developing a blueprint for the future of the Club. There are a number of ways you can help us - the first being through our various committees. If you are interested in being an active member of a department committee, please contact either me or Lisa, our member services director, to put your name forward and get involved. We also invite you to join our opt-in departmental mailing lists, to keep in touch with what‘s happening in each of our departments. Your feedback is crucial to the vitality of the club. We invite you to send us your suggestions, questions, and comments via our online suggestion box. We will continue to circulate surveys to members throughout the spring & summer, and appreciate your participation in assisting us with the ongoing process of improving our wonderful club. Thank you for joining us for the 2016 season. We look forward to another year of making the Waeg a regular part of your life and an active part of your family!

Parent Communication Prior to the beginning of the summer session, all parents with children registered in our camp will receive a Parental Guide with information regarding the instructors, drop off and pick-up safety, contact information, and a detailed schedule for the week their child is attending. Safe Arrival - we ask that parents notify our camp coordinator if their child is unable to make camp.

Waegwoltic Sailing School The Junior Sailing Program at the Waegwoltic Club is focused on providing instruction in a fun, safe and positive environment. We strive to teach practical theory and on-water skills while emphasizing camaraderie and a passion for the sport. The Junior Sailing Program models itself on the CANSail program that was developed by Sail Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Yachting Association, CYA) and implemented in 2012. All of our instructors and coaches have received training and certification based on Sail Canada‘s national standards. CANSail programming means lots of time on the water in a safe, fun and active learning environment, with relatively less time spent in a classroom. Sailors learn the skills and enter into fun and challenging experiences suited to their age and stage of development. The programming is designed to get - and keep - sailors excited about sailing for life! Regattas & Parental Support The racing and recreational streams both have different demands on the students enrolled and their parental supports. These are important points to consider when deciding what to sign up for. Recreational sailors do not attend any weekend Regattas. This means that the children will simply have to be picked up and dropped off at the Waeg each day. No additional transportation of children or equipment is required. With the racing stream, sailors will be attending weekend Regattas. The amount of involvement, and the distance of travel varies by program and the Regatta schedule. Sailors will also be training out of other locations (Bedford, St. Margaret‘s Bay, Chester, P.E.I, etc.) This is a necessary aspect of the program, and one that is usually the highlight of the sailor‘s summers. To make this happen, parental support and involvement is absolutely necessary. For more information on the Waegwoltic Junior Sailing Program, please email sailing@waegwoltic.ca or call the Main Office on 902 429 2822 ext.2. See below for more information on regatta fees and attendance. 49 YOUTH: SPRING & Fall NEW Spring & Fall Training Spring & Fall Training Sessions Why wait until the summer? Some of the season‘s best sailing happens during the spring & fall, with spectacular winds and fabulous sailing weather. Our new spring & fall training sessions are designed to deliver quality on-water experience for intermediate and advanced sailors looking to stay sharp leading up to, and after the primary sailing season. Thinking of racing this year? Get a jump-start on the fundamental boat handling techniques and tactics before ARK! Not racing but want to hit the water early and learn to master the more challenging winds of Canadian spring and fall? Our new program is a great way to learn to master the winds in a fun and safe learning environment. Training sessions are skill based and dynamic, providing the perfect opportunity to build racing skills and sailing confidence. This new training program is designed for sailors who have completed CANSail 2 or are registering for Opti Learn-To-Race and at least 11 years of age. Exceptions will be made based on skill and ability. All members under the age of 11 must be evaluated by the Head of Sailing before registering for the program. If enough beginners express their interest in spring & fall sailing, we would also consider adding a beginner coach to the training session. If you‘re interested in a spring & fall beginner sailing program, please contact the Main Office on 902.429.2822 ext.2 or email sailing@waegwoltic.ca.

The course includes an introduction to sailing and boat-handling skills. Our trained and certified instructors are chosen for their exceptional skills working with children. When we aren't on the water, we are taking in the best that The Waeg has to offer, with afternoon dips in the Lido, trips to the Dingle and, of course, participating in all the famed Waeg Recreation events such as the Great Water Fight and Sail & Bail.

All classes are taught under the close supervision of three CANSail 1&2 instructors. Successful completion of this class (CANSail 1&2) will allow sailors to join the Opti Race Team, or Advanced Sailing. The program uses Echos, a double handed sloop boat that allows for interaction among sailors, and a fun learning environment. To accommodate busy summer schedules, the Waeg offers both a one-month Basic Sailing program as well as a condensed two-week version. Regardless of which offering you take advantage of, sailors will learn everything they need to know to get out on the water and have some fun!
