★★★★★Layla CollinsMy son loves this camp and he looks forward to a new experience each summer or school break. They have been great with communication. Not only has he learned so much about sailing but his confidence has grown so much. We can’t wait for his little brother to start camp.
★★★★★Mari FranklinGreat experience for my 10 year old grandson. Started out the summer griping that the coaches were mean and didn't help the kids to asking if he could go for another session. He may even join the racing team!
★★★★★William FelderCoached a private youth Opti race clinic here, young and attentive staff and great leadership on administrative side, wide skill disparity on some sailing classes; but, excellent effort on inclusivity, while also coaching top of fleet forward in race classes. Overall great experience.
★Stephan WorthyI had highShigh hopes for this camp. Very disappointed day one. Teenage led and poorly supervised. Program director is not interested in what you have to share.
★Michele KomosaAbsolutely do not send your youth here. You will be misled that it is a sailing camp when what the end up doing is dismissing your children early. Glorified babysitting us what it is. Lack of supervision should be enough to scare you away! Save your money... plenty of much better camps out there.
