Summer employment 2021

I can't wait to see what the summer of 2021 has to offer

This summer was great! Given the opportunities that we had due to COVID-19, BSSC made the best of what they could do. I learned a lot this summer and had a lot of fun meeting new instructors and working in the program. The Zoom calls were hard because they were so new to everyone but BSSC did a great job with it. I can’t wait to see what the summer of 2021 has to offer.

Thankful for an enjoyable and educational summer

Despite the hardships of Covid-19, BSSC was able to guarantee all of its interns with jobs for the summer of 2020. Many internship programs were canceled completely due to the outbreak. BSSC allowed the staff to have a fun summer job where we gained sailing, powerboat, and maintenance skills. In addition, we were able to run our summer camp program with children through zoom and seesaw activities.

A very different summer

This summer was very different than it would be under normal circumstances. COVID-19 had a huge impact on the teaching methods for the students, but we pushed through. We successfully taught them and had them engaged in the material that was being introduced. Creating activities and videos for the kids to do on their own time was one of my highlights this summer. I enjoyed creating videos of activities that I would have done with them if it was in person. Overall, this summer was a blast and the… Read more

We all had a great time

While this summer was a bit unusual, we all had a great time at the Center learning a bunch of useful skills on boats and in the classroom. Having kids on Zoom was a blast and I’m so glad we were able to make this summer work for all of our students.

Spirit and Community of BSSC was alive

Although BSSC was executed through an online platform this summer, the quality of instruction did not fall short. I am blessed to have worked alongside a hardworking and dedicated team to make this summer equally productive, engaging, and enriching for both staff and students. Despite the barrier of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the outreach to students over Zoom and Seesaw kept the spirit and community of BSSC alive. Together we were able to build our online educational presence for future summer… Read more
