"Lobster Jo’s was wonderful. My 11 year old learned new skills, made friends and was never bored. Came home each day had a snack and a nap, which never happens. She loved it!!"

"Please continue this program the rest of the summer and bring it back next summer. The camp is incredibly well run, the counselors are excellent and my daughter has loved her time there."

"Lobster Jo's Beach Camp is super fabulous. My son has learned how to have fun in the water and on the beach (how could he not you ask, well he was not really a beach guy until this camp). The counselors are great and attentive and help the kids work through any issues that come up. Everyone is positive and upbeat and there is a ton of fun things to do. We are so thankful for this experience! Thank you Lobster Jo & Team!!!"

"Out of about a dozen summer camps we tried this year, LJ's was the clear winner. My 7-year-old was excited to go in the morning, and was exhausted by the time we picked him up. The counselors are cool, and their attitude is contagious. The camp has a section of the beach clearly demarcated with giant lobster flags, and the dropoff/pickup is easy from the Garden St. lot. The kids are in and out of the water constantly, and counselors were good about sunscreen re-application."
