Join us Friday, June 23rd, as we welcome guest speaker, Rotarian Bill Bohney. Bill will be speaking on behalf of Spectrum Sailing! Spectrum Sailing is a proud Perrysburg Rotary Service Foundation Grant recipient.
"Spectrum Sailing provides maritime education, programming, and outreach for autistic individuals. Our camps provide opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and confidence building. Sailing is our platform to positively impact the physical, mental, and social health of our participants.
Spectrum Sailing was born out of necessity. Our founder, Scott Herman, was looking for a sailing camp his Autistic son could attend. Sadly no one would take him, so he started his own camp! Founded in Charleston, they built the only Autism Sailing Camp in South Carolina. The local program grew and proved successful. It was then that Scott decided kids across the country needed this opportunity." (Source)
Through the generosity of both the Autism and Sailing communities we can offer camps in multiple locations at no cost to the sailors. These kids just need a chance and Spectrum Sailing is that chance.
