Our Folsom Lake event is in Memory of Logan Schwab, an incredible young man whose passion for fishing will live on with the children at this event.
“My favorite moment was watching the kids receive their plaques and how happy it made them. It gave me an appreciation for helping the kids, and seeing how much the event meant to them and their families. It also made me excited to volunteer more with C.A.S.T. in the future.” – Shore Volunteer, Folsom Lake
“My son is nonverbal autistic, and his sensory needs were met by the boat’s bumps and speed and touching the water! Waiting to catch a fish helped him also with patience. These experiences in nature are immensely positive for him. This experience means so much to our son, engaging his senses and balancing his mind and body. Sharing this as a family is incredible, and we’re deeply grateful. Thank you!!!” – Parent of Participant, Folsom Lake

The events will start at 8:00 am and will end at 1:00 pm. Please note a parent or guardian must be present with your child for the entirety of the event.
