What families say
“The camp is a great hands-on experience and program for all skill levels. My son had a ton of fun and really improved his perseverance skills.” — Parent/Kid Testimonials
“I like that the campers really got to sail on their own. My child learned not only sailing skills but also cooperating with others. In other camps, they did not get to be so independent. We loved the program especially the demo-day where we got to watch and learn about the program.” — Parent/Kid Testimonials
“My child learned Confidence Building, Responsibility and Ownership. We love everything about the program, from the instructors, director and demo days. The instructors really knew my kids and had great things to say about them and even the director knew them. It is a wonderful program, it’s a wonderful resource to the community! Instructors deserve a raise!” — Parent/Kid Testimonials
