Boat Ride
Florida Kids with special needs rarely have the chance to enjoy the pleasure of boating, fishing, or the excitement of the Intercoastal Waterway. Our Marina Day Kids program has changed that circumstance. Join The U.S. Coast Guard and The U.S. Coast Guard Auxilliary for boat trip aboard a Coast Guard Cutter. See the intercoastal waterway as you've never seen it before.
Waterway Education
U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Coastguard Auxiliary will educate kids on safety and conservation of South Floridas Intercoastal Wasterways.
Join us a Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park for a Boat Ride and BBQ and a day of family fun in the sun. Be sure to bring a bathing suit and plenty of energy.
