The camp was well run, and my child loved every minute. The instructors were kind and patient, and I appreciate the extra safety measures put in place this year. This was my child's 3rd year participating, and I know he'll be back next year. Thank you to all involved!

ECSA Sailing runs a vou very tight ship. From registration to graduation there is never a doubt that this is a first class outfit that has the best interest of the children and their families in right focus. They provide all participants a life skill that help them through all other challenges in life. Being taught to harness the winds of change and move forward with drive and purpose in an environment of uncertainty is a priceless gift to our children. This camp has built resilience into our boys, allowed them to challenge themselves and their fears, enable them to set a course for success and fight against changing environmental factor. What might seems like it would hold them back is now met with a tack or jibe and they realize the journey continues to toward growth. Sailing is a life skill that can be enjoyed well into your later years, and this school teaching them how to respect, care for and honor the tools of life, and the people that teach them along the way. Beautifully run, fantastically prepared, ready for fun and adventure!!!

Our boys have attended camp the last 2 years. They have enjoyed the staff and activities so much, they have both become youth members then involved in the Opti and high school sailing teams . Staff and volunteers have always had our children's best interest at heart, providing wonderful role models in the community of sailing. We are so grateful to have this open to the public so friends can enjoy the same great experience with ECSA that we have.

My kids just finished an amazing week of sailing camp! This was their first sailing experience, and the instructors were knowledgeable, kind, and patient while always keeping the children's safety at highest priority. We were looking for a summer camp that felt "safe" during the coronavirus pandemic, and this organization had safety protocols in place such as temperature taking, sanitizing stations, and mask wearing if the children were in a close proximity under a covered roof, such as sheltering from a passing storm. They finished a fun-filled week of camp asking to return again next summer, so I'd say this was a huge hit! Thank you ECSA for igniting a desire to keep on sailing!

We signed our son Mason up for the beginners Sailing camp. It was the best. He looked forward to going every day and when the week was over he want to sign up for another week. The Instructors were knowledgeable, professional and encouraging. They also had someone taking photos daily and posting them on their Facebook page. We will be back for next year. Thanks everyone that had a part in making this camp possible for kids and youth.
