The teaching staff is so kind and knowledgeable and this really reflects on the students interests.

Everyone was very good at checking in with us about changing weather conditions, changes to the schedule that needed to be adjusted due to the weather, and adapting to our kids and their needs. We did have two new labs that we enjoyed and would like to see again when we..." Read more

"Our students seemed to retain a lot of information and we enjoyed the land based classes that allowed student participation. All water activities were excellent. However Some classes were very lecture heavy- such as coral reef ecology and sea grass ecology and were a bit harder for our to give their full attention to the whole time."

"All the staff were amazing. The Captains were very professional and kept us safe, the cafeteria workers were polite and helpful, and the teachers were the best. Ari, Claire, and the rest of the team really were awesome. Pat and Erin were great leaders. All info whether educationally or directions were very clear."
