Last Friday, Propel team members spent the day volunteering at the third annual DownStream Fly Fishing event. The program offers children with Down Syndrome a chance to spend a day outdoors with family and volunteers fly fishing.
Program founder, Ryan Miller, hopes “that through fly fishing, children with Down Syndrome can improve coordination, fine tune motor skills, boost social skills and attain a sense of accomplishment while having fun.”
We certainly had a great time — kids and volunteers alike!
The program hosted other activities in addition to fishing — we tied flies, practiced casting and made watercolor art.
We look forward to participating in DownStream 2010.
