This is our first year at the Whitby Yacht club and I can't say enough about how friendly and…read morehelpful everyone has been. The clubhouse is situated at the end of Gordon street and offers a fantastic view of lake Ontario. Amenities are much like those from a well kept small resort with the convenience facilities like the showers, a staffed bar, multiple outdoor patios and communal BBQ for the members and their guests. Since we joined towards the end of this year's boating season, we did not get to experience the regatta and other fun activities like the Octoberfest planned by the club, but we're looking forward to enjoying the full experience next year.

My son has been going to the summer camps for seven years. I can't say enough good things about…read morethis gem of a summer sailing program. From intro sailing for little kids (called Mosquitos) to more advanced sailing programs (White Sail) to advanced sailing techniques and racing (Broze, Silver, Gold), the WYC is a superb place for smart, active, eager kids who love the water and want to learn many life lessons and skills they will hold onto for the rest of their lives. Our favourite instructor Ian has moved on and now Emma has taken over. My son raves about Emma and the other instructors. Both on water and classroom instruction. The little kids play games too and have fun. Sunscreen required...at least SPF 45, applied at least twice a day. At the end of the year there is a banquet and the kids get their diplomas, have a meal and awards are handed out. Trust me, this is a great summer program. Space is limited. Go to www.wyc.ca and check out the summer school brochure and schedule. We're not members of the club, you dont need to be either. I hope a couple of members review the club itself...seems like a great group of people.

Master Morrison was amazing…read morewith the kids - he had them doing all kinds of fun activities and kept them entertained and engaged! The space is great for kids - lots of room to run around and a nice roomy area for food and cake. We weren't rushed in or out (like what can happen at other places) and my son loved the whole event. Thank you to everyone for making my son's birthday so special!

I paid over $500 and they shamed me in saying how they pitied me for not being able to afford the loss during covid when we were out of work and they were closed. 3. Cleanliness: dirty filthy floors and they didn't clean up after the children. 4. Watch the prices: at the time they bill and if you need a refund don't fall for them telling you the machine doesn't give refunds. It takes credit cards it can refund through them.

BOTTOM LINE (for winter sports): My go-to place for nordic skiing from the GTA, not just for the…read moretrials but also the excellent lodge. It's a privately-owned outdoor centre for nordic skiing and fat tire biking that's only 1-1.5 hours from the GTA. A day pass is $36 and a winter membership is $115. You can rent skis ($35) or fat tire bikes ($60). I'd recommending checking both their website and IG page for trail conditions before coming up (I've noticed some discrepancies) or just call the morning of There are numerous trails of varying distances from ~3-10 kms, with numerous shortcuts and overlaps so you can mix and match. The ski and bike trails are separated so you won't run into each other. Haven't had much snow this year, so unfortunately, despite grooming, there was quite a bit of debris and the trail tracks can be inconsistent. Finally, although this is totally gonna sound like a back-handed compliment, the lodge food and drinks were unexpectedly excellent, and with generous portions, great quality, and 2000s pricing to boot (everything's $10-20)! A great selection of beers were also available, which really hits the spot after a session out in the hills.
