Sail with us! Following is a letter we recently received:

"My grandson had such a wonderful time at sailing camp last week.  I wanted to thank you for providing such a special, rewarding and educational experience. 

First of all, the location could not be lovelier.  Talk about memories being made!  He was greeted by super friendly camp directors and the class was a smallish size so there was no crazy-making (I taught school for 30 years!!). The fact that he was introduced to a whole new seaman vocabulary, learned to basically man a sailboat, share a boat with 2 other kids, watched for the boom, got to dress up as a pirate on the final day, and then sail to Dockton (had a real destination) for lunch, and play pirate games was beyond my expectations!! 

At pick-up, the kids were always happily directed in a group game of different sorts.  No one was running around unsupervised and they all had smiles on their faces.  The camp leaders were courteous, helpful, well-informed, and knew how to deal with 8-12-year-olds and also with parents/guardians dropping kids off.  They were very reassuring.  Thank you so much for providing the best camp experience my grandson has ever had.  We'll be back year after year!!"
