LOGISTICS:  We will provide everything you need for a pontoon ride and some fishing. We’ll also take care of all of the food, drinks, and snacks, including a grill out at Perkins Park. Participants are encouraged to bring any special snacks/meals that they need or wish to eat.

We do NOT provide clothing such as rain gear, boots, cold weather gear, etc. so pack accordingly.

Depending on your interests and physical needs, we can provide volunteers to assist with most tasks associated with an adventure like this such as: assisting with fishing (baiting hook, casting, landing/releasing fish).

We have limited capability to assist with travel and/or cargo transport so our clients should plan on being able get themselves (and any equipment they choose to bring) to and from the event.  Please let us know if you require special travel/cargo accommodations.

Clients who have a care-taker or support person are welcome to include them on the adventure.  There are no costs involved for our participants and/or any caretakers that accompany them.

We encourage you to bring any special needs along with you that you feel would be necessary (medications, crutches or walking sticks, electronic medical devices such as insulin pumps, etc).  Please remember that we will be out in the elements, so plan accordingly if you need to bring such devices.

We do not guarantee that power will be available at all times during the excursion. We do have our own battery bank power supply, so let us know right away if you’ll require access to power.

We also encourage (but do not require) you to bring anything that will make you more comfortable during the adventure, such as sunscreen, bug spray, etc.

We do not guarantee that any medical staff will be on site so all of our adventures are AT YOUR OWN RISK.  At times we may have volunteer(s) with EMT or Nursing backgrounds, but clients should not count on medical staff being available.  We will have basic first aid needs available.

While we understand that pets love the outdoors too, we ask that you refrain from bringing your pet along on the excursion.
