The Parent Perspective

“There’s a real collaborative effort to TAASC. There’s always someone to bring up. The minute you learn a new skill, you’re turning and helping someone else.”
-Linda Schilling
Mother of Charlie Schilling, Age 15
Six years in TAASC

“(The kids) are allowed to be who they are at that developmental stage without constantly being under scrutiny. While they are being kids, they are learning how to do important things and being tested in real-life situations. When they are out on the water, those are real-life environments. And when they come back, they are very aware that they’ve done something important.”
-Casey Fletcher
Mother to Freya and Robert Pollock
TAASC alumni

“I’m so impressed with Greg and the (TAASC) crew. Most of them have been through Outward Bound, so they are very highly skilled. I feel like (my son) is getting a lot of quality information from the people in TAASC. They really know what they’re doing, and I feel very safe and confident when I drop my kid off that he’s in good hands.”
-Judy Wells
Mother of Sam Wells, Age 12
Two years in TAASC

“This program has been phenomenal for my kids. They look forward to the meetings every week and to the weekend trips like you would not believe. Every time they come back from one of those trips, you can tell they’ve grown a little. You’ll hear about something they did or an experience they had, and you can tell it is making a positive impact on their lives.”
-Tim McMullan
Father of Rowan and Quinn McMullan, Ages 10 and 12
Two years in TAASC

“It’s the confidence building, the independence, the knowing ‘I can take care of myself, I can do these things.’ That is huge. He feels more confidence at school and in life. He is learning to trust himself.”
-Judy Wells
Mother of Sam Wells, Age 12
Two years in TAASC
