“It’s always an incredibly rewarding day. Being a part of helping these kids learn a new skill and have a new experience is priceless.” – Volunteer Boater
“This event was such an awesome moment for my son to forget how much pain he is in on a daily basis. He smiled so big for the first time in a long time. He loved his captain who was so friendly and patient with my son. The whole event was amazing. He still talked about his 3 big fish he caught and is so proud of himself!” – Parent of Participant
