The VT Kid’s Day Fair was a great way for people to come explore many different camps and children’s programs in the greater Burlington and Vermont area. Even though we were surrounded by the Girl Scouts, horse camps, sleep away camps for boys and girls, mountain biking camps and all their requisite candies and cookies, we had something special and different to offer: sailing camp right here in Burlington. People rounded the corner to our table and let out cries of excitement over a new and exciting opportunity they could partake in. Program posters with camp offerings were passed out in abundance, stickers were worn by many eager kids and candy was eaten by all. But the best part was getting to talk to new parents and kids who seemed thrilled at the possibility of spending some time this summer sailing on Lake Champlain. Explaining all the cool summer programs from Guppies and Level One, up to our new Race Program–made me wish I could be a camper again. Children and parents alike ooh-ed and ahh-ed over our multi-activity camp options as well. A lot of attention was paid to Skateboarding and Sailing, Tennis and Sailing and especially our new Cooking and Sailing camp, offered in conjunction with Healthy Living. The day was short but successful. We talked to a lot of excited, new, potential sailors and even some parents who wished they could come down to summer camp too! Everyone’s looking forward to another exciting summer at the Sailing Center and it’ll be here sooner than you think!
