Yikes! Where did the weeks go? Since our last post, we have been very busy finishing up the spring afterschool program and diving head-first into summer camp programming. During the week of June 23rd, by special request we ran a four-day camp that was a lot of fun. We painted t-shirts and caught a ton of mackerel and flounder, and dodged ALL of the rain and thundershowers.
We've had great luck with the sandeel net, and have been using the bait to catch more flounder and striped bass. Last week, we spent our days with a great group of kids from the Amesbury-based Jumpstart Program. Their week aboard was paid in full through the exceptional generosity of the Newburyport Bank.
And did we mention the fun we're having with our BOAT CAMP by-the-sea kids? On Monday mornings we're exploring tidepool animals with our class of 2 to 4 year-olds, and it has been fantastic. This week--all about crustaceans!
Our summer camp aboard the Erica Lee continues Monday. We do have a few spots left the week of July 28th, so spend your Yankee Homecoming week on the water with us!
