    5/5

    My son felt really comfortable with this camp and is a repeat customer. He likes the group size, the instructors’ attention to safety, and their willingness to meet him where his comfort level is. Having gone a few times already, he’s seen a wide range of ages and abilities all supported in the same group. The community of instructors are dedicated, kind, attentive, and laidback. The camp runs smoothly regardless of changing water conditions. I appreciated the instructors’ extra effort to give recommendations for water safety precautions for parents giving their kids more time in the water after camp. Thanks for giving our son some fun weeks in the water and a new hobby!
