Hanlan-YMCA summer camp

Since 2022, Hanlan Boat Club has partnered with YMCA Camps to offer the Hanlan-YMCA “Paddle & Pedal” summer day camp at Hanlan’s boathouse, which is located on the banks of Lake Ontario, east of Cherry Beach in Toronto.

The Hanlan-YMCA camp offers rowing, canoeing, kayaking, biking, and swimming, as well as traditional camp activities. Campers learn water/trail safety, rowing and paddling skills, and basic bike maintenance. The rowing portion of the camp is led by Horacio Tendilla, Hanlan’s Head Coach of Junior/U23/Senior programs, and a team of Hanlan and YMCA counsellors. 

The camp runs for nine weeks, from July 2 to August 30, 2024, with rowing instruction offered to youth, ages 10-13, during weeks 1-5 and week 7 of camp.  Younger children, ages 6-9, may also register for the camp and will participate in all activities except for rowing during the summer. For more information about the camp or to register, please see the YMCA camp registration page.  

YMCA Camps is Canada’s largest camp provider with extensive experience in offering safe, supportive, active and fun experiences to kids in both land and water sports. Hanlan is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit rowing club which has inspired and supported rowers from the community with a wide range of affordable programs since 1975.
