OUR PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS
More than 57 years ago, my dad took me fishing for the very first time — and that simple moment sparked a lifelong love for fishing and the great outdoors. What started as a day on the water became a tradition that shaped our family, created countless memories, and connected us in ways nothing else could.
Over the years, I realized something important: those moments weren’t just about catching fish. They were about confidence, patience, laughter, early-morning sunrises, and the kind of connection you can’t get anywhere but outside together.
As fewer kids and families were getting those experiences, I felt called to share what shaped my own life.
That’s why Reelin Family Fun exists — to help kids and families discover the joy of fishing and nature through hands-on learning, positive encouragement, and unforgettable adventures.
When you join us, you’re not just signing up for an activity. You’re stepping into meaningful moments that build skills, spark confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime — just like the ones that shaped ours.

Event Support & Safety
Because we are a small-but-mighty team, programs and events require your staff, helpers or volunteers provided by the hosting organization. We’ll let you know exactly what’s needed during planning so everything runs smoothly. Safety first — all programs follow a structured, safety-focused approach with insured activities and guided supervision.
Waivers & Media Release Requirements
To ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone, all participants are required to complete:
A participation & liability waiver, and
A photo/video release allowing us to capture images during activities for educational and marketing purposes.
These forms must be completed before the start of the program or event.
Exceptions:
If a hosting organization (such as a school, Boys & Girls Club, or community agency) assumes liability and manages all photography/videography, then their coverage and permissions will apply. In these cases, we will only use photos or videos they approve and provide.
We will clearly let you know during booking whether your event requires our waivers or uses the host organization’s documentation.

Connections to the natural world are vital for all of us, and it is sometimes hard to help people make those connections. Reelin Family Fun made those connections happen in a fun, encouraging, affirming, laid-back way. They provided an amazing experience for the students in our program.

If you want a family friendly event to learn with kind people this is for you. The value for the price clearly shows that they aren’t doing this to make big bucks, but to keep families together and spending time outdoors.
