The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Harbor Navigation, Knot-Tying & Daily Long Island Sound Regattas in Easton. Designed for Ages 6 to 15. Some Ages 6 to 15 activities at Anchor Bay Coastal Water Camp were genuinely engaging; others felt like filler between the highlights. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Lifeguard staffing at Anchor Bay Coastal Water Camp looked adequate on the schedule but thin in practice when we counted heads at the pool deck.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Boats), 1:6 (Shore Labs). Staffing quality at Anchor Bay Coastal Water Camp varied noticeably by bunk — some counselors were excellent, others seemed undertrained for Ages 6 to 15.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Anchor Bay Coastal Water Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1360 – $1610 / week
👍 What We Loved
- A few families we spoke with in Easton had entirely positive experiences
- When the 1:4 (Boats) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Easton visit, est. 2004)
- Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our Easton visit, est. 2004)
⚠️ What to Consider
- Communication was inconsistent — some updates, long silences other weeks (per our Easton visit, est. 2004)
- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our Easton visit, est. 2004)
- Facilities show uneven upkeep — some areas well-maintained, others neglected (per our Easton visit, est. 2004)
