Sail Caribbean Testimonials
What parents and students say about Sail Caribbean teen summer camp programs.
"We've been greatly impressed by the amazing planning and organization, by the great communication before and during the program, by reports of the skill, warmth and good humor of the staff, and by the quality of the equipment."
Patricia Farren, New York, NY
"I'm so glad I did Sail Caribbean … I learned a lot about myself and my ability to adapt to new situations. It will really help when I go away to college to know that I’m able to make new friends so easily."
Rachel Kiliany, age 17, La Palma, CA
"I found SC on the internet and was greatly encouraged when you sent me the list of references and I saw people I knew who had sent their children. After talking with them I felt good about sending my son to the BVIs by himself. What a great learning environment…thank you!"
Susan & Royden Goode, Mooresville, NC
"My two children were forced to interact in person with their shipmates instead of communicating through IM. I cannot tell you how much the lost art of conversation has returned at our home."
Sissy and Mark Lappin, Houston, TX
"I learned to appreciate simpler things and to live in more simplistic ways…who needs the mall when you have a beautiful Caribbean Sea in front of you?"
Frances Brandley, age 16, Summit, NJ
"…everyone we dealt with was intelligent, professional, and either had answers to our questions or got us answers. The trip was exactly as represented…the professionalism of the entire staff reassured us that the sailing was also handled with care and attention to detail."
David and Susan Kupfer, Chester, NJ
"...the program was so great that coming home, leaving my new friends, and leaving the Caribbean was one of the hardest things I've ever done."
Michael Zimet, age 12, Aspen, CO
"...the concern for the safety and well being of the children, all while creating a fun, challenging, active environment, really sets Sail Caribbean apart from other programs we have been affiliated with in the past."
Skip Flinn & Mardi Young, Jericho, VT
"My favourite activity was turtle tagging... I realized how much of an impact the human race has on the turtle population ... it made me feel proud to be helping to save the very world we live in."
William Charles Jupp, age 15, Kenley Surrey, England
"An unbelievable experience that combined learning, leadership, and friendship in just the right amounts!"
Matt Cameron, Mill Valley, CA
"The best part was how we became a family...it was like I had eight brothers and sisters who I could trust and who, simply by being on the same boat, had lots in common with me"
Hannah Naughton, age 17, Winnetka, IL
"I think it was so wonderful for my "California Daughter" to unplug her laptop, cell phone, TV and miss a plane connection!"
Pamela Healy, Tiburon, CA
"Our son had a life changing experience at your camp this summer! It has increased his motivation to do well in school this year to be able to return to Sail Caribbean."
