Reviews and Testimonials: What do others say about the Floating Classroom?

“Thank you for letting me go out on the Floating Classroom. It was a wonderful learning experience, and something that everyone who lives near, or enjoys the Lake, should be able to do.” – E. Smith, N. Creek, NY

“Thank you for hosting the Floating Classroom. Your staff was knowledgeable and engaged all the students regardless of the questions they asked.” – S. Showers, Bolton Central School

“The program tied in perfectly with the New York State science curriculum for our 4 -­ 6th grade students. It included scientific investigations and methods, and information about the water cycle and the local ecology of Lake George. The students had a fantastic time. They talked about the equipment they got to use for days. The highlight was catching plankton and examining them under the microscopes. This activity was a good primer for our study of invasive-aquatic plants in the Adirondacks.”  – M. Beeman, Putnam Central School

All kids in each age group really enjoyed the morning out on the Floating Classroom, and all the kids brought back something to share with a friend. That’s what this program is all about, lake awareness and teaching our future adults how to keep our lake pure and beautiful!” – Amanda Vickerson, Northern Lake George Yacht Club Director
