My kids have fallen head over heels in love with (1) surf camp; (2) the private lessons with Russel…read moreand Nate this year; and (3) private lessons with Robbie and others in prior years. Kids do kind of run the place and there's massive turnover from year to year. But Gary (a Nantucket native) seems to consistently lead a fairly happy, good natured team. Instructors work really, really hard and, in our experience, have imparted some important wisdom about when to stand, when to jump ship, and when to take a wave. Maybe even more importantly, they've nurtured our kids' love of surfing -- and that may be a lifelong thing. In general, Cisco has beautiful, long, gentle waves, and Gary seems to use good judgment about when to cancel classes because of choppy waves or other unfavorable conditions. Mahalo.

Website said 8am so we were there, excited to surf. Waited for 35 minutes and no one showed. Left…read moremessage. Gary shows up with a surly unapologetic attitude, makes a sarcastic comment to me and my kids about getting out of the way so he can park his truck, and proceeds to deny that his website says 8am (see picture). I get that we're on island time and this is surfing, but there is no excuse for being rude to anyone and especially customers. You wasted an hour of 4 people's time this morning Gary.

They even called the day before to change the time of the lesson to work better with the tide. There were kids in the class that they were great with. Awesome experience.

Lessons were at Marconi Beach (beautiful beach if you have never been) and Zach made sure to schedule the time based on the best surf conditions for our diverse group. All of the instructors were very friendly and knowledgeable and they went out of their way to make sure that the kids felt comfortable and that we all had a great time. I can't say enough how good the experience was. We will absolutely be back next year. If anyone is interested in surf lessons on the Cape then look no further. These guys are the best.

As a young child, I did not have many friends. The kids at my school saw me through a fixed lencse…read more I was strange, aloof, and unwanted. My mind was too abstract. I never truly felt a part of a community, until Camp Wingate*Kirkland. School is a place of boxes. Everybody fits into one; artist, athlete, gamer, math nerd, weirdo... At Camp W*K, there are no boxes. We choose new activities everyday. You can be an artist who suddenly falls in love with tennis. A camper on the soccer field can be best friends with a camper in the library. You can do, try, be whatever you want to. No one will judge. No one will comment. The connections I've made there I will never lose. Camp W*K taught me that I am not in a box, I am not worthless, I can make deep connections, and I can be the person I mean to be.
