Don't expect much from Boston Harbor sailing programs - Anonymous employee Courageous Sailing Employee Review

- So regulated that even program head instructors have no real flexibility in planning activities or progression of skills taught - The amount of paper work and documentation required for every tiny little thing was unbelievable. There was also no time to do all this. In their defense however, pretty much all of this is state-mandated. Thank you Massachusetts for sucking all the fun out of summer camp. - instructors working under me were high schoolers with no work experience who barely knew how to sail themselves, let alone how to teach - Location! The traffic in Boston harbor is way too busy to shepherd around a large group of kids who have no idea what they're doing in a boat. Also commuting to the Navy yard by public transport was terrible. The buses that are meant to stop nearby were reliably no where to be found. - Kids in this program had learned nothing in earlier years or "levels" so what should have been the advanced group was forced to go back to the basics - They try to squeeze way too many kids into one boat - Pay was way too low for the demands of the job or compared to similar positions elsewhere. Working at a non-profit has it's drawbacks.
