Tell me if you think this would work and if you would be willing to participate.
We will be having another Naci Lake Bash next summer. Another thing I'm working on is providing a summer camp for kids from the inner city who could never afford it on their own. The camp would be held at the same property but at a different time.
Here's the question: would the Naci Bash participants be generous enough with their time and boats to spend the Thursday or Friday before the Bash taking kids boating? Keep in mind most of these kids have never been exposed to anything like the boats that all of us take for granted so to actually ride in one would be like a wildest dream come true. It would be the highlight of their camp experience that they would remember forever.
It's the generosity of Hot Boat people that can make this happen. Post feedback and ideas.
Thanks

I think there are plenty of people on here that would be willing to do that. A couple things to consider, you should have more people and boats commited than you need before you commit to the inner-city kids because there will always be people that have to back out. Another suggestion is setting the date way in advance so people can get the time off work. Lastly you will have to lay out some ground rules with the kids because a lot of boaters are very anal, and people who have never been arounds boats (inner-city or not) may do things boaters usually wouldn't do.

I think that this is a great idea. I would for one would be willing to help with this in any way that I could. Providing a smile on a childs face is the most gratifying experience there is to have.

I would do that. Definitely need some rules put in place as far as boating rules and safety etc.... The other things that would concern me is liability issues. But I would definitely be down for this kind of thing.

I would think Code Blue Racing would be 100% up to help out by sharing our passion with some that may never get a chance.
I do agree with Bill on this 100% also;

Definitely count me in! Half the fun of boating and skiing is seeing the smile on someones face the first time they go for a boat ride, ride on a tube, or get up waterskiing. I agree with the rules thing, a little lesson on boat etiquette before we show up would definitely be a plus.
