“From the very beginning, the program was welcoming, patient, and attentive to the unique needs of my son. I was initially hopeful that it would help him build confidence and enjoy being on the water, but it did so much more than that. Seeing the smile on my son’s face as he talked about sailing was priceless…The experience not only brought him joy but also built his confidence in trying new things. Spectrum Sailing will forever hold a special place in our hearts as the organization that allowed my son to discover his love for sailing.“

“I am so grateful that my son had this opportunity to participate in camp and operate a boat. I loved that the camp was mostly hands-on and operating the boat, with minimal classroom time. My son learns with his hands, so this was the best learning experience for him. Spectrum Sailing has given him a sense of independence, confidence and accomplishment.“

“Spectrum Sailing is a wonderful all-inclusive program! It allows for special needs individuals to learn not only to sail in a calm manner, but also to push them outside of their comfort zone to experience something extremely fun and rewarding. Scott Herman and his staff are incredible at what they do in providing a life-long skill in a beautiful sport, which also includes developing social skills and teamwork. I, along with many others, are very happy to see someone take the lead with this kind of unique program and super excited to see it grow!“
