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.

"Take me home Country roads…read moreTo the place I belong" -John Denver Camp Weona is the place I belong. I went to this camp for 7 years as a child and worked there for 2 summers. This summer, I volunteered for one week. If you are looking for a camp for your child, please consider Weona. Weona boasts beautiful views and a wide range of activities, including archery, horses, canoeing and kayaking, arts and crafts, and a brand new high ropes course including a zip line. I just tried it this summer and it's a blast. The food is average, but it is improving every year. Cabins are rustic and you will get the outdoor experience. I've listed many amenities, but please know that the best part of this place is the wonderful people who work here. The staff care about the children and the experience, as well as this beautiful place. It also should be noted that Weona isn't all for kids... Weona hosts schools and other organizations, family weekends, etc. If you don't believe anything about my review, know that the motto of Weona is "where only good prevails." Thank you, Weona, for giving me the memories that have inspired this review.

The pit holes in the driveway could swallow up a small car, the owners yard, full of stuff everywhere, nothing picked up. The person who booked the party for 50 people wasn't greeted, NOTHING was set in motion for a child's birthday party and the 20 friends they invited, plus parents and family. The manager had no idea a party was coming until 20 minutes prior to arrival. The place is filthy, the barn is a disaster. I feel sorry for the poor animals that live in that place considering the $$$ people drop in there for riding lessons, camp, parties etc. DO NOT GO HERE, you'll regret it!!!!!

I recently hosted my twin daughters' 5th birthday party at Autumn's Gate, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was incredibly disappointing--especially considering we paid several hundred dollars, even with a promotional rate. From the moment we arrived, not a single employee greeted us or provided any direction. In fact, another parent who happened to be there with her daughter was the only person who offered any assistance. I initially thought she worked there because she was the only person helping us. Thank goodness she was there, because without her, things would have gone even worse. The party was originally booked to be held outdoors, weather permitting. Since rain was in the forecast, I proactively contacted the owner beforehand to confirm there was a backup plan. On the day of the party, however, the weather turned out to be beautiful--sunny with some wind, but overall a gorgeous day. When we arrived, we were directed into a barn that was in very rough condition. The owners knew we were expecting approximately 50 guests, yet there was no way that many people could have comfortably fit in the space provided. Since no staff member was communicating with us, I called the owner myself and asked if we could move the party outdoors. She explained that the tent couldn't be set up due to high winds, which I completely understood. She then told us a staff member would walk us to the outdoor area so we could see the alternative setup. This was about 10 minutes before guests were scheduled to arrive. When we got outside, it was obvious the space had not been prepared. There were bicycles and miscellaneous items scattered around, no garbage cans, and three employees were hurriedly wiping down tables while guests were already arriving. It felt as though no one had planned for us to use the space at all, despite that being where we had originally booked the party. To make matters worse, one of the owners casually told us, "If you need anything, I'll be in the woods through that path," and disappeared. No one explained the schedule, the activities, or what to expect. There was supposed to be a tour included, and I had to track someone down to ask about it. We later learned that the owners didn't even inform staff about our party until midnight the night before. The employee assigned to lead the tour appeared understandably frustrated because she had only been told about it roughly 20 minutes before she was expected to conduct it. Thankfully, the kids still had fun, but as the host, I was embarrassed in front of my family and friends. The entire event felt disorganized, unprepared, and poorly managed. The property itself was also concerning. The potholes in the driveway were so severe that my brother's car nearly bottomed out. The grounds were overgrown with weeds, and there was junk scattered throughout the property. Given the cost of hosting events and riding lessons there, it raises the question of where that money is being invested, because it certainly does not appear to be going toward property maintenance or guest experience. To top it all off, after providing virtually no support throughout the event, the owner wanted another parent to take photos of the party for advertising purposes. That request felt incredibly inappropriate given the experience we had. Near the end of the party, one of the owners finally approached us and asked if we needed anything. By that point, we were already packed up and leaving. I booked this party nearly a month in advance and expected a professional, organized experience. Instead, I received the complete opposite. If you are considering booking a birthday party or event here, I would strongly encourage you to reconsider. The children may enjoy the animals and activities, but the lack of preparation, communication, customer service, and overall upkeep made this one of the most disappointing event experiences I've ever had. I cannot recommend Autumn's Gate, and I would not spend my money there again.
