The Wonderfully Weird CHV family

Camp Harbor View this summer has been amazing, not only the kids that we get to meet and work with, but also the people that I have had the pleasure to work with all summer. Over the course of the summer I feel that we really have become like our own little family. One big wacky, funny, goofy, lovable, crazy, beautiful, kind, and amazing family. Its really hard to put in to words how happy I am that I got the chance to meet, not only everyone at Camp Harbor View, but also everyone at Save the Harbor. You all have made this summer so much fun and I feel like I've really grown as a person.

The kids I have worked with so far this summer have truly been so much fun to work with day in and day out. Whether it was Michael who brought a plastic box and a minnow net on our fishing trip so that he could catch fish and put them in a touch tank. Or Solomon the boy that a bunch of us CHV people wrote about last week who is probably one of the kindest kids I have ever met. Or Mallory a camper that we all met just this week who is just the cutest kid, always happy and smiling. Really excited to get to know our new set of fishermen and fisherwomen in training this week when we start clubs.

This is Micheal driving the Belle on our last fishing trip

Working at Camp Harbor View is one of those special places. It's one of those things that stick with you. Everyday I bounce out of bed in the morning because I'm excited to go to work with the CHV fam and to see all of our amazing campers. I think this photo is a pretty accurate representation of what working at Camp Harbor View is like. Even the skate is happy to be there.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who I have worked with this summer y'all have become like my family. I've had an amazing time and this is defiantly a summer that I will never forget.

Love y'all 💗

Welcome!

Welcome to Save the Harbor / Save the Bay's Boston Harbor blog "Sea, Sand & Sky".

Save the Harbor/Save the Bay is a non-profit public-interest Boston Harbor environmental advocacy organization whose mission is to restore and protect Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay, the Boston Harbor Islands, the Boston Harbor region's public beaches, Boston's waterfront and the marine environment and share them with the public, for everyone to enjoy.

Since 1986, Save the Harbor / Save the Bay has been the driving force behind the transformation of Boston Harbor from one of the dirtiest urban harbors in America to one of the cleanest in the world.

As a result of our advocacy, Boston Harbor has been transformed from a "Harbor of Shame" into a source of recreational, educational and economic opportunity and civic pride. Today the beaches of South Boston are among the cleanest urban beaches in the nation, the Boston Harbor Islands are a National Park, and Boston's waterfront has become a compelling destination for residents and visitors alike.

Working with a broad base of civic, corporate, government, scientific, philanthropic and community partners, Save the Harbor / Save the Bay continues to strengthen the connections between communities and the harbor, and promote the increasingly important impact Boston Harbor has on the region’s economy.

Each year Save the Harbor / Save the Bay runs 2 free Youth Environmental Education Programs that combine recreation and hands-on education to bring Boston Harbor alive for thousands of Boston area young people. Since 2003, we have connected nearly 250,000 youth and teens to Boston Harbor, the Boston Harbor Islands, our region's public beaches and Boston's waterfront.
