You are most welcome to be present during all activities. 

CPSC is a volunteer sailing club and you will need to learn how to help your child to get their boat out and put away their boat.  There are other volunteer activities at the club if you are able to help please speak with Karen or another club member.

As a parent you can: (Instructors will advise what jobs need to be done each day)

• Help children get the boats and sails out of the shed
• Help the children in and out of the water
• Help children wash and put away boats

We will assist you to learn what to do throughout the course.  You don’t need to know what to do to start but just a willingness to join in and help out is appreciated.
