Testimonials from Parents
My child is already asking to go back next year. She learned so much, made new friends, enjoyed all of the counselors and educators, and had a great first experience away from home. I can’t thank you enough!
My kids have been coming to this camp for over 7 years...they love it! It’s the highlight of their summer!
The camp does a fantastic job of balancing science, exploring the marine environment and having fun.
The camps are just the beginning. If possible, we are thinking counselor and taking college summer courses; maybe be an educator/instructor!
Keep up the great work! Your programming goes above and beyond and offers kids (and adults) an opportunity to explore and engage in activities they may not have an opportunity to do otherwise, and your counselors/staff clearly love what they are doing which makes the programming even more special!
My son's week at CBFS has been a highlight for him for the last 2 summers! He wants to be a marine biologist and fully intends to continue attending camp, and potentially applying for future internships or counselor positions. Thank you for providing this program!
This was my son's first sleep away camp experience. Even at age 15, it can be very difficult and he was hesitant to attend. He was encouraged to go with his friend. We are so glad he went and so is he! He had a wonderful time, met a lot of great kids that he continues to be in touch with, and he speaks very highly of all of the counselors. He said all of the counselors and instructors were very knowledgeable and that he learned a lot. Most of all he had fun and made great memories. Thanks!
Just a top-notch, excellently run program!
