The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Harbor Navigation, Knot-Tying & Daily Long Island Sound Regattas in Greenwich. Designed for Ages 6 to 15. Anchor Bay Sailing & Marine Camp's schedule balances sailing & marine ecology activities with enough free time that campers didn't seem over-programmed. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Solid swim instruction most days; pools are heated and adequately staffed. (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1960)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Boats), 1:6 (Shore Labs). Staffing is adequate for Ages 6 to 15, with enough adult oversight that we didn't have concerns during our visit.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus service covers Greenwich and nearby towns reliably, and carline moves at a reasonable pace. Lunch is nut-sensitive with a rotating hot option most days.
Tuition Range: $1600 – $1850 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Facilities, while not new, are clearly well-maintained since 1960 (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1960)
- Campus is clean with reasonable shade coverage for Ages 6 to 15
- Hot lunch is included and reasonably well-reviewed by campers (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1960)
- Bus service to Greenwich and nearby towns ran close to on schedule
⚠️ What to Consider
- Parent communication is functional but not proactive — you may need to ask (per our Greenwich visit, est. 1960)
- Facilities are a bit dated compared to newer camps in Greenwich
- Some specialty sailing & marine ecology equipment looked due for an upgrade
