I like Shake-A-Leg because I get to make new friends and I get to play in the water.
I love Shake A Leg because you’re constantly outside, I love that we get to enjoy the beauty of Biscayne Bay through fun water activities rather than just lounging in a classroom or even worse staying at home. Also, I’ve made a lot of connections with the kids they’re all so sweet and I love learning with and from them.
I joined Shake A Leg because I love the water, and getting to teach kids is just really fun. I’ve been part of Shake A Leg for 9 years and everyone is amazing the staff, the mentors, and the kids make it a great environment. And now I’ve brought my brother here and we really enjoy working here on island.
I really enjoy that shake a leg because of the community I love that the kids can come in and do activities that a lot of them have yet to experience in their life. I know that for me and my daughter this is her first time at an aquamarine camp, and she has really enjoyed meeting new people and getting to do things that she’s never been exposed to before.
