insane SUP voyage
We all saw the Instagram posts last week of Chris Bertish completing his insane Stand Up Paddle voyage across the Atlantic Ocean but reading the below article from NatGeo about the entire adventure puts the feat in greater perspective.

Huge props to Chris for not only completing the adventure but also raising millions for charity.
Water Monkey advertising
Getting new campers each year is essential for growing our young camp program. 2017 will be our 6th summer and it is amazing how 'established' we have become in such a short time.
We are testing out a bit of print advertising this year so hopefully families that would not otherwise find us online may stumble across our ad! Below is a link to the Boston Parents Paper Northeast Camp Guide where we have a half page ad on page seven!

Here is a screenshot of that page but definitely give the entire guide a read for some relevant articles!
"boating industry" letter to the new president
At Water Monkey Camp we do not have many rules...we want campers to listen to our coaches, respect each other and the environment, eat well and take an occasional shower. One hard and fast rule, however, is we do not talk politics. A simple political discussion can morph into a heated argument as individuals try to express their own deeply held beliefs. That being said, this open letter in "Boating Industry" magazine (link below) is some non-partisan wisdom from a guy who certainly knows his stuff.
An open letter to President Trump from Bill Yeargin, CEO of Correct Craft
The letter is not long and quite worth the read. Mr. Yeargin runs one of the largest boat companies in the world (Correct Craft manufactures Nautique boats), has served on the Commerce Department Manufacturing Council on behalf of U.S. manufacturers, and has traveled the world conducting business in dozens of countries. All of this has given him a unique perspective on U.S. policy that he concisely shares in his letter.
Just because we do not get political at camp does not mean I did not vote!
