What a beautiful day to spend out on the water!

Our kids enjoyed an incredible final field trip of camp, making memories that will last for quite some time.

A huge thank you to SWAP - Surfers With A Purpose 501(c)(3) for sponsoring this amazing outing and giving our kids such a fun and unforgettable experience on the St. Francis fleet charter.

We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up an amazing summer!

Today we remember and celebrate Janet, a longtime volunteer whose dedication and caring spirit helped make our center a better place.

Whether she was lending a hand, sharing a smile, or connecting with fellow volunteers during her shift, Janet brought warmth and compassion to everything she did. Alongside her longtime shift mates, Laurie and John, she formed lasting friendships and became an important part of our center's family. Together, they shared years of service, laughter, and commitment to our mission.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and fellow volunteers during this difficult time. Janet's memory will remain in our hearts, and her impact will continue to be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Janet, for everything you gave to our community ❤️
