“My child loves to learn new things. He is absolutely an ‘outdoorsman’. This is a fun way to nurture his sense of accomplishment. Plus, everyone is sooo warm, friendly, & accommodating. We got group participation while traveling from out of town into the city which greatly encouraged learning new skills. Some sensory issues addressed with outdoor activity and developed sense of accomplishment.” – Parent of Participant, Central Park Pond
“The highest compliment received from these events is the appreciation expressed by the parents. Their sincere joy at seeing their children happy and outdoors is profound.” – Shore Volunteer, Central Park Pond
