The place is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms, and they are wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-262

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.

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.

I can't say enough great things about the staff and the counselors here. The summer camps are run 100% outdoors (unless it rains and they move the kids inside) with incredible 2 counselors to 4 kids per cohort ratio. On non rainy days, kids get to sit outside on a carpet under the tent for various activities and crafting. Each week is themed (insects, aquatic species...etc) and the kids learn about the ecosystem surrounding the Rouge Valley which is a great way to spend a day for a kid. We'll continue to support this wonderful center and hope more people learn about them as well!

Took the Vista Trail and then hopped over a road and onto the Mast trail. Nice grassy, earthy trails. Open year-round AFAIK. Bring a headlamp and you can go hiking in the fall evenings. Heck, maybe even in winter. Great workout, decent elevation variation and beautiful vista views.
