About this Event
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Casting Connections: Ice Fishing Edition is a guided outdoor experience crafted for fathers and sons or any parent–child pair who want deeper connection, shared adventure, and a memory you’ll talk about for years.
Hosted at Braddock Bay Park, this winter experience blends challenge, mentorship, brotherhood, and the quiet of nature—giving families space to slow down, listen, and reconnect without distractions.
This is not a tournament.
This is not a class.

You just show up.
We handle everything else.
