What to Expect at a C.A.S.T Event

C.A.S.T. for Kids events are designed for children with special needs from ages 6-18. Events are free for children to attend, and all children leave with their very own fishing equipment! Children must be accompanied by their parent/guardian for the ENTIRE event.

Upon arrival, please check in at the event registration table. You and your child will be paired with a Volunteer Boater for approximately 2-3 hours of fishing. The fishing is followed by lunch for everyone and an awards ceremony for the children. A day of joy and celebration for all!

Pre-registration is required. Space is limited. Contact the event coordinator with any questions or to see to see if a child out of the suggested age limit can participate. Please note only one parent/guardian is guaranteed a boat ride. Once registered, event details will be sent to you via email and text within two weeks prior to the event day.

We look forward to fishing with you!

“We loved it so much! It was a huge blessing to receive the equipment and the boat captains were so patient and motivated to teach the kids a new skill. My son loved fishing and felt really special receiving the plaque, he hung it up on his wall as soon as we got home! More events like this are needed!” - Parent of Participant, Lake Murray
