"My son attended FOBH Summer Sailing Camp for the first time this year, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and made safety a top priority while still keeping the experience fun. By the end of the session, he had gained confidence on the water, made new friends, and couldn't wait to come back the next day. We highly recommend this camp to any family looking for an unforgettable summer experience."
