点评:Our 15-year-old daughter is passionate about marine life and the coastal environment. She is considering colleges offering marine biology programs. This camp was a wonderful introduction to the field of marine biology and she had a great time! She has attended sleep-away camp in the past but felt nervous about a new place and not knowing anyone. She made friends very quickly and the staff was attentive and welcoming. She flew alone into Wilmington, and staff was on time to greet her. We even received a call from her counselor the day before her departure just to ask if we had any questions and to introduce herself. We immediately knew our daughter would be in great hands. The volunteer experience at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital and the chance to witness a sea turtle release was both educational and rewarding and making new friends with similar interests was extra special. We enjoyed seeing daily photos and appreciated the no-phones policy. It enabled our daughter to immerse herself in the experience and to practice both her social and professional skills. Throughout enrollment, Dana and her team were responsive and helpful. We highly recommend!
翻译:我们15岁的女儿对海洋生物和沿海环境充满热情。她正在考虑申请那些开设海洋生物学专业的大学。这次夏令营让她对海洋生物学领域有了很好的初步了解,她玩得非常开心!虽然她以前也参加过寄宿制夏令营,但这次面对一个陌生的地方且谁都不认识,她还是有些紧张。不过她很快就交到了朋友,工作人员也格外细心且热情友好。她是独自乘坐飞机抵达威尔明顿的,工作人员准时在那里迎接了她。甚至在女儿出发的前一天,我们还接到了她指导老师的电话,对方只是想询问我们是否有任何疑问,并做了自我介绍。我们立刻就明白,女儿一定会得到悉心照料。在Karen Beasley海龟医院做志愿者的经历,以及亲眼目睹海龟被放归大海的机会,既富有教育意义又令人收获颇丰;能结识到一群志趣相投的新朋友更是格外珍贵。我们很喜欢每天收到的照片,也很欣赏这里不允许使用手机的规定。这让我们的女儿能够全身心投入其中,同时锻炼自己的社交与专业技能。在整个参与过程中,Dana及其团队始终响应迅速且热心帮助。我们强力推荐!
