Hands-On Experiences That Bring People Together
More Than Fishing. A Hands-On Experience — With or Without Water.
An event can be full of activities and still leave people standing on the sidelines.
Reelin Family Fun creates hands-on outdoor experiences designed to get people participating, connecting, and having fun together.
Whether you're planning a church event, school program, family day, camp, community gathering, corporate event, or something completely different, we'll create an experience around your people, your space, and your goals.
We use fishing, nature, wildlife, outdoor games, challenges, and stewardship to create experiences that get people outside and participating together.
Sometimes it's fishing.
Some groups want to learn to fish.
Some want nature.
Some stewardship, or outdoor education.
Some want an active family experience.
Some want games and challenges.
Sometimes it's team building.
Sometimes you simply want to give people something fun to do together.
And sometimes the weather—or the location—means there's no water involved at all.
The experience changes. The purpose doesn't.
That's Where We Come In.
We can create the complete experience or can bring individual Reelin Family Fun activities into an event you're already planning.
Indoor or outdoors. With water or without it.
We'll work with you to create something that fits your event.
Planning an Event Is a Lot to Think About.
You want people to participate.
You want kids to stay engaged.
You want parents to enjoy themselves, too.
You want the experience to fit your space, your schedule, and your audience.
And you don't want to create one more thing for your staff or volunteers to manage.
We understand.
That's why we don't start with, “Here's our package.”
We start with your event.
We talk about what you're trying to accomplish, who will be there, the space you have available, and what you want families or participants to experience.
Then we help create the experience around that.
Already Do Activities In-House?
That's great.
You may already have staff, volunteers, equipment, and ideas.
The question isn't whether you can do it yourself.
It's whether you want your team spending their time gathering supplies, planning activities, setting up stations, and managing another part of the event.
Reelin can bring the equipment, activities, guidance, and experience—helping make the experience easier for your team to deliver.
We're not here to replace what you already do.
We're here to make creating a great experience easier.
Catch. Respect. Protect.
We believe getting outdoors should be about more than having fun. It's also an opportunity to learn about the world around us and how we can help take care of it.
Through fishing, nature, outdoor games, wildlife discovery, and hands-on challenges, we find simple ways to help kids and adults understand why our natural spaces matter.
That might mean learning to respect fish and wildlife, discovering what belongs in a healthy habitat, working together to protect our waterways, or finding ways to leave a place better than we found it.
We want people to have fun, participate together, and leave with a little more appreciation for the outdoors.
Catch. Respect. Protect. It's a simple way to remember how we can enjoy the outdoors and care for it, too.

THE CHALLENGE
St. John wanted an activity that would add energy to their Block Party and give kids and families something fun to do together.
WHAT WE CREATED
THE FISHING FUN ZONE
CAST → CHALLENGE → PLAY → LAKE JAYJER
Kids practiced casting, took on challenges, played bean bag and ring toss, and finished by fishing at Lake JayJer.
WHAT FAMILIES DID
Kids cast.
Kids caught.
Parents cheered.
Families celebrated together.
WHAT HAPPENED
Kids were excited to participate—and they kept talking about the experience afterward.
Deacon James Summers, who brought Reelin Family Fun to the event, told us:
“The experience they brought to our event exceeded our expectations.”

WHAT COULD WE CREATE FOR YOUR EVENT?
Every event is different. That's the point.
St. John was outdoors. Your event doesn't have to be.
Reelin Family Fun experiences can be brought indoors or outdoors, with or without water.
A gym.
A church property.
A park.
A company event.
A community center.
A camp.
The space doesn't have to look like a fishing hole for us to create a memorable experience.
Your Experience. Your Goals.
Every group is different. That's why we don't force every event into the same package.
We'll work with you to create an experience that fits your goals, participants, schedule, location, and budget.

How It Works
1. Tell Us About Your Group
Complete our short planning form and tell us what you're hoping to create.
2. We Create the Experience
We take your goals, audience, setting, and ideas and build an experience around them.
3. We Bring It to You
We bring the equipment and activities to your location, set everything up, and lead the experience from start to finish.
4. You Enjoy the Experience
Your group participates, has fun, and makes memories together.
For larger experiences, we may ask your organization to provide a few volunteers to help welcome participants and keep things moving. We'll provide the direction and handle the activities.
5. We Pack It Up
When the experience is over, we take everything down and pack up our equipment.
You don't have to worry about the teardown.
