At the RNSYS we're about creating moments that
make up amazing childhood memories you won't find
anywhere else.
In our programs, your child will enjoy full days of
learning and improving in the sport of sailing or
swimming, or perhaps a little bit of both, along with
an incredible skillset of how to work as a team, make
new friends, and how to safely challenge themselves
to achieve great things.
We offer your family the summer camp experience of
being outdoors, on the water, smaller class sizes,
one-on-one coach time, new friends, interactive
games + field trips, healthy lunches, canteen snacks,
and so much more. See for yourself this summer by
registering with us today.
We're so excited to meet you!
