“Seeing my child’s confidence being built and being supported by others was my favorite. This was so much better than I thought it would be!! I don’t even have the words, I’m just so grateful. The boys that volunteered with my son were amazing with him, and I’m so grateful that he got to interact with them. They were so sweet with my son, telling him he was going to be an expert in fishing! They even got him to touch two of the three fish that he caught!” – Parent of Participant, Spotted Dog Pond
“Reminds me of the beauty of community, the resilience of the human spirit, and the joy that children bring to every environment. My favorite was the awards ceremony – hearing children thank the parents and volunteers, how much they enjoyed fishing and want to continue, and the quote ‘this is better than the tablet’.” – Shore Volunteer, Spotted Dog Pond
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!
