From the people you support:

"We would like to thank you for your support to Youths Can Fish 2 Society. Our children have had some wonderful experiences with this society. They have learned fishing, camping, archery and environmental issues. My children were really excited and happy to receive your gifts. There were so many wonderful items, coats, sweaters, boots, toys, special event tickets (Zoolights, Science Center, Hitmen game). One cannot express what we felt. We cried, laughed, were overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Laurie & Ross, parents

"I would like to thank you for the experiences through Youths Can Fish 2. This year was my first year at junior high and I used a lot of knowledge I learned going to camp. I used some of the information I used in some of my projects for school. Because of this I got really good marks. I even made Honors Roll. Thank you so much for all the opportunities." - Sam, camper

"Thank you for having me be able to attend camp this year. It was my 1st time. I made some friends. I really liked to go fishing especially when we went in the boat ...that was cool to also catch fish and it was really neat to learn how to make a broom and a walking stick. I am in Grade 3, I have been able to use some of the things that I learned while at camp and my report card I have 4 A's. I have never had any A's and I have some good friends that I really like now. Also, I want to be able to go to camp next year again. My brothers cannot wait to be able to go to camp next year as well .... I have told them all about my fun time." - Adaeze, Age 9

"The moon was pritty and our campfire was fun.  We caught many walleyes when we went fishin with the boat. Above all, fishing on a boat is very exciting. Thank you to everyone that made it possible for me to go to camp. I really liked to learn about walking stix. I am in Grade 4 and I use some of the things that I learned from camp at school. I want to go to camp again next year." - Eric, Age 10

".......many more young adults should consider volunteering their time with camp as it is fun and you learn with the kids." - Jong Hun, volunteer
