In collaboration with Warrior Sailing Canada, True Patriot Love is thrilled to be offering sailing training camps across Canada! The aim of Warrior Sailing Canada is to continue to grow interest in and opportunities for inclusive sailing experiences within the military community across Canada. Providing training camps across Canada is a way of building the legacy of the Invictus Games to continue using the power of sport to aid recovery and build community. These camps provide an opportunity for ill/injured currently serving members and Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces to use the sport of sailing as part of their recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration journeys. Regardless of your current skill level, participants will receive expert instruction in sailing through classroom lectures and practical application on the water in order to gain the skills to participate in sailing in their local community. The Halifax Training Camp will take place at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron from June 19 – 21, 2024. Accommodations, meals, sailing equipment, floatation vests and instruction will all be provided. Participants will be introduced to sailing while learning both in a class setting and on the water. All adaptive equipment will be provided in order to include participants with any type of physical injury. This specific training camp is open to those only in Atlantic Canada.
