Lake of Bays Sailing Club (LBSC) Capital Campaign

Endless Summer: 600 by 60!


The official launch of the Lake of Bays Sailing Club’s capital campaign was held at Cheers to Summer on July 2nd. In recognition of the significant capital improvements that are badly needed at the Club, the LBSC Board of Directors has launched an ambitious capital campaign – “Endless Summer: 600 by 60.” The Endless Summer Campaign – $600,000 by the 60th anniversary (2024) – will help ensure the Club remains an enduring fixture on Lake of Bays, providing a vibrant sailing and social environment for years to come.


The capital campaign will fund essential projects such as a full dock replacement, interior renovation of the clubhouse, including lighting, ventilation, interior cladding and washroom upgrades, construction of an outdoor teaching facility with stadium seating and an extensive fleet rejuvenation.


Now more than ever, the Club needs the support of the Lake of Bays community to preserve and improve this beloved Lake of Bays institution. The Lake of Bays Sailing Club helps set Lake of Bays apart from the rest of Muskoka by fostering a welcoming environment of inclusiveness, facilitating life-long friendships, promoting sportsmanship and instilling respect for the lake and our environment; all qualities that epitomize the Lake of Bays community at large.


On behalf of the LBSC Capital Campaign, we are grateful for your ongoing financial support of the club. As you know, maintaining our fleet, dock and clubhouse requires significant funding that goes beyond what we can generate in program fees. Your support is vital.
