GOT A TALE TO TELL?

I’m amazed at how my young kids can practically recite stories back to me before they know how to read. Or how they can recall entire scenes from their favorite movies. It becomes immediately apparent that their minds work like little video cameras, recording and learning from every sense they possess. For better or worse. I have to remind myself to be the model of the person I want them to grow up to be every waking moment.

Some of the activities the non-profit foundation offers are camping, fishing, hunting, field trips, train rides, and visits to State and National Parks.

HUNT OF A LIFETIME FOUNDATION

It began with a mother’s determination to make her son’s dream of going on a Canadian moose hunt come true. Tina Pattison’s son Matt was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. Tina knew if she was going to give her son this gift she had little time left.

Still Tina would not give up.
