A huge thank you to Love You, Kid Inc for sponsoring 250 registrations for our Summer Parks and Rec Summer Camp. Their commitment has created meaningful opportunities for kids and families in our community. With rising costs for youth programming, this partnership is especially important in ensuring every child has access to a fun, safe, and engaging space during the summer months.

Fin to Feast: A Catch-to-Cooking Experience!
This one-of-a-kind Fin to Feast culinary program gave kids an unforgettable experience—learning not just how to catch fish, but how to responsibly harvest, filet, cook, and enjoy their own catch.
From sharpening their filleting skills to preparing a full fish fry for their families, these young anglers brought incredible passion, curiosity, and pride to every step of the process. Watching them showcase their hard work to their families was truly special.
A huge thank you to Elizabeth, Jordan, and Russ for making this program possible. Their knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm helped create lasting memories (and some seriously delicious meals!).
From fin… to feast. What an amazing day!
