“Something for Everyone!”
That’s our theme for 2011. We have certified programs for ages 4 and up. Summer Kids programs run in July and August while most Adult programs happen in the spring. We look forward to meeting new faces, and are very excited to welcome back many of our past sailors to another wonderful year at Deep Cove Yacht Club. Thank you for checking out our Web page. We’re updating our look to go along with all that’s new here this year.

Perhaps most exciting is our new Financial Assistance Scholarship Fund, to help support those who may not otherwise be able to afford sailing tuition. We have a limited amount of space for program subsidies so be sure to get your application in early. Click on Financial Assistance Scholarship Fund below!

Kevin Kumar Last years head instructor, is now our Sailing Director. Kevin brings the same passion to this position that he did as an instructor and that means program excellence is once again our main focus. One change you may notice, White Sail 1 & 2 are now combined into one program. Kevin also plans to lead the team to this years Commodores Cup, the annual Regatta held each August.

We have: *Lowered prices for White and Bronze sailing… *New features and updates here on our website so visit often… Opportunity for volunteers, instructors and parents to get involved and join the fun.
There truly is something for everyone at Deep Cove Yacht Club!

Cancellation Policy:
Due to the nature of our Summer Programs, refunds will be subject to a $25 admin fee up to 5 days before the start of the session. Refunds within 5 days of the start are subject to review and may be paid in full or partial, less the 25 admin fee. No refunds will be issued after the start of a program as the student instructors have been contracted and hired.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Learn to Sail Program has set up a Scholarship Fund to encourage financially disadvantaged children to participate in the Summer Kids Programs by assisting with the payment of enrollment fees. Full payment of fees is not usually possible because of limited funds and the belief that each child should contribute something towards this very exciting and rewarding summer experience.

Parents/Guardians needing assistance should complete the application form and forward it to the Learn To Sail Director at the DCYC office by fax (604 924 3270), by mail (4420 Gallant Avenue, North Vancouver BC, V7G 1L2) or by email learntosaildirector@deepcoveyc.com.

Early submittal is encouraged to help process the limited funds. Applications will be reviewed for approval by the DCYC Learn to Sail Standing Committee who will inform the family of the decision and reserve a space in the desired program pending receipt of the required partial payment. This application requires the endorsement of a Sponsor who is familiar with the social and financial situation of the family and the desire of the child to participate in the program. A Sponsor can be a DCYC Member, a Social Worker, a School Principal, a Church Leader or other person whose judgment is reliable.

The Learn to Sail Director would be happy to discuss this program with you and answer any relevant questions.

RACE TEAM
We’re starting this year with the Commodores Cup in August and all students are welcome to sign on! Contact Kevin Kumar for more information or to reserve your spot now! Parents and Volunteers are urged to contact us if they would be willing to help build the DCYC Race Team.
