Cancellation Policy: If we have to cancel

Updated January 12, 2024

If a planned program cannot be held because of safety concerns, low enrollment or other factors beyond the control of Boothbay Sea and Science Program, BSSC will consider alternatives to in-person programming. These alternatives will be considered to be as near to equivalent programming that’s being offered at that time. If the BSSC is left with no other choice than to cancel a program, I will be given a full refund, or the option to receive credit towards the 2025 summer program. This policy will only apply to those full weeks that my child was unable to attend and that partial days and/or weeks will not be refunded or credited.

From our parents

My daughter enjoys BSSC very much. She likes swimming and especially science. She likes getting “jobs” on the boat. She really enjoyed this week’s movie about the 16 year old who sallied the world by herself.

I value the balance between time on the water and the educational component adding to their overall respect/perspective. The Olympics were also a huge hit this year!! A great balance between skills, education and good old fashioned summer camp fun!

Our child was super excited about the seaweed identification and that knowledge really presented when we kayaked out to spectacle island to camp and encountered many different types of seaweed. She loves the camp! Everything. One noticeable difference was that our child was able to identify the different types of seaweed on the coast and in the water while we went out kayaking.

Everything is fantastic! We really appreciate this stellar program and thank you for providing such wonderful enrichment and a unique experience for the students. Eleanor has been anticipating this program for months- having the time of her life.

You were the best organized communicators of the three camps she went to last summer – thank you! She loved the data collecting and science portions, that felt really unique to your program.

BSSC’s thematic programming is one of its strongest components. All three of our campers (ages 5, 8, 13) were enthused by the topics and methods of exploration. They came home curious and eager to learn more ocean science related concepts.

We loved the overnight on the Schooner Tyrone. Anytime this is a possibility, please make it available for the kids. It was such a wonderful opportunity. The highlight of the summer!
