SGU Hosts Kayak Clinic for iCare

by

This is one for the books. A day that will live in my heart forever. These young adults continue to show off their kayaking skills and to witness the growth and confidence.

To see the improvements, while others never been in a kayak or in the water. WOW – the emotions to witness the fear but the love of being in the kayak. Once in the kayak and felt comfortable the fear went away. This was huge accomplishment.

I can’t say enough about ICARE Program – Sea Turtle Adventures and your work in our community.

Thanks to our Paul the best Coach and mentor that works miracles with each group.

Els Center of Excellence host a summer camp.
June 2022

Shifting Gears United was invited as a community partner to introduce handcycling and recumbent cycling to the ELS students. Our day with the ELS students was exciting for them, and an amazing experience for the SGU staff and volunteers. Having the opportunity to teach, mentor and witness these young souls confidence grow immensely in a few hours is indescribable. The laughter and joy of learning something new for all of us. We had one student, first time EVER completing any activity.
