“Our captain was wonderful, and his calm personality worked well to keep my kiddo calm, too. He was patient and made my child feel important by allowing him to make decisions like where to fish and how fast the boat should go. We really appreciated Captain Robert. ” – Parent of Participant, Lake Tyler
“It was a great opportunity for my kids to be involved in helping other kids enjoy the outdoors and fishing who may not normally have this opportunity. Just an awesome time for our family to share what we have been blessed with and bring a smile to someone’s face.” – Volunteer Boater, Lake Tyler
This is a C.A.S.T. for Kids event designed to provide children with disabilities, ages 6 – 18, the opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience through the sport of fishing. Take to the water with C.A.S.T. for an unforgettable morning of fishing and boating!
