“My daughter lacked patience but was able to get close to an animal as well as try to fish. My favorite moment was seeing how excited she was to speak in front of everyone!” – Parent of Participant, Lake Wheeler
“It was extremely rewarding to be a part of such a great event. Despite the rain the kids were having a blast! Talking with the kids and hearing their excitement about fishing for the first time was my favorite from the event.” – Shore Volunteer, Lake Wheeler
