“The program helped the kids and myself to be more mindful of our surroundings and realize how important it is to keep improving the outdoors to be cleaner, healthier, and overall safer. First Waves encourages kids to be out of their comfort zone to do something new and cheer for their friends while creating a positive experience for all. This program is truly one-of-a-kind.”
