June 23rd, 2009Sailing Made Simple!
Big and Little Brothers matched through Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver will enjoy a day of sailing followed by a BBQ lunch on Sunday, July 26, 2009, courtesy of the Kitsilano Yacht Club.
With instruction, gear, food and drink, matches will embark on sailing adventures with maximum hands-on and boat handling time. Last year, a Little Brother was so excited to learn and play that he handled absolutely everything on the boat while the Big Brother got to just sit back, relax and enjoy the enthusiasm of his Little Brother.
Now in its second year of involvement, the Kitsilano Yacht Club is offering even more fun for kids by offering a FREE camp! By donating nine spots for their Youth Sailing Camps, they will allow one Little Brother each week of the summer to learn even more about sailing.
During the camp, Little Brothers will be taught by certified instructors who focus on giving students maximum time on the water. Located on the beach next to the Kits pool, Little Brothers will also learn how to beach the boats while enjoying the sunshine!
Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver thanks the Kitsilano Yacht Club for hosting this great event. Such events allow matches to spend a free day together learning a new activity that they may not otherwise pursue.
