Business Review

Parent Testimonial: An Unforgettable Summer "If you’re looking for a camp that actually gets your kids off their screens and into the sunshine, Nathan Benderson Park’s Water Adventure Camp is it.  My son, Leo, started the week a bit nervous about being out on the lake, but by Wednesday, he was coming home exhausted, sun-kissed, and absolutely buzzing about his 'PB' (personal best) in a kayak. The variety is what really kept him engaged—one day they’re learning the basics of rowing, the next they’re testing their balance on paddleboards or navigating a sailing boat.  What impressed me most wasn't just the activities, but the quality of the instructors. They are incredibly safety-conscious but know exactly how to make the kids feel like real explorers. Leo didn't just learn how to paddle; he learned about water safety, teamwork, and gained a huge boost in confidence that he carried back to school.  It’s rare to find a program that balances elite-level facilities with such a welcoming, 'fun-first' atmosphere. We’ve already marked our calendar for next summer—NBP has officially become the highlight of his year!"  — Sarah M.
