Working with WSA

Spend the summer doing the best job in Whistler!

WSA offers CANSail accredited summer camps for kids and teens, as well as adult courses and racing clinics for our members. We are looking for all levels of CANSail coaches who have a passion for sailing and enjoy passing that on to others.

WSA is located on Alta Lake in Whistler BC, beneath Blackcomb and Whistler mountain. Alta Lake acts as a funnel from notoriously windy Squamish, resulting in a regularly timed thermal wind hitting WSA shores every day. It’s very rare for sailing to be cancelled due to lack of wind.

Please contact us if you think you would be a fit for our team!
