Getting Back to Basics

When the first C.A.S.T. for Kids event was held on Banks Lake in Eastern Washington in 1991, no one had any idea what the future would hold for the program. At that event, hosted by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, 10 participants from Shriners Hospital were selected to fish with members of the Washington State BASS Federation and something almost magical took place... ...

A Change of Scenery in Rhode Island...

This year, we moved our Rhode Island event from The park in Providence to a reservoir out in the woods and set up camp at a quaint little fly fishing club called “The Island” on beautiful Slatersville Reservoir. A pristine place where the wind blows through the trees, the hosts welcome guests with open arms and the sound of laughter and excitement are to be heard all day long. ... Full Article

Message from Clay:

Sometimes, I feel like the luckiest man alive. I know some people look at me and feel sympathy because of my condition. I look at my condition (physical limitations) as one of God’s best blessings on my life. My condition has given me opportunities to go and do things beyond my wildest dreams. It has also given me opportunities to inspire others to do likewise. I believe we have a responsibility regardless of our station in life to help others who might be similarly situated find happiness and peace irrespective of their circumstances. Remember, if I can you can.

For more information on Clay and his career, please visit www.teamdyer.com. Clay will be present at an occasional C.A.S.T. Event when his schedule allows, however we will not know until a week or so ahead of time so keep an eye out!

Testimonial:

“The C.A.S.T. for Kids program supports leisure involvement and mastery in a motivating and socially stimulating task and environment. The ability for a child to learn a new skill and have a sense of achievement is some of the best therapy that a child can receive. As an Occupational Therapist, I strive to establish this sense of mastery and involvement in all of my patients. It can help to open the doorway to many other skill sets and mastery throughout a child's activities of daily living as it promotes self-esteem and confidence through new learning paths and social acceptance.”

Rosie Kirby, Occupational Therapist
