What to expect

Summer Cast & Catch gathers veterans and first responders for a long weekend on the water. Experienced guides lead float trips each morning, while the afternoons focus on skill-building, peer connection, and restorative practices that help participants reset nervous system strain. Evening circles and optional one-on-one coaching ensure each guest leaves with renewed calm and community support.

Daily rhythm

  • Morning water time with trauma-informed guides and adaptive gear specialists.
  • Midday workshops covering mindfulness, mobility, and personal reset strategies.
  • Afternoon open blocks for rest, journaling, or one-on-one coaching.
  • Evening fireside circles that foster storytelling, reflection, and peer support.
