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. I've made a lot of connections with the kids, they're all so sweet and I love learning with and from them.
I like Shake-A-Leg because I get to make new friends and I get to play in the water.
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.
There are so many reasons why I love Shake-A-Leg: their message, the opportunities it gives to campers and workers, and the element of water-based activities.
The staff treat every kid like they belong there from the first day. My son came home standing taller.
