“Did you know the ocean has salt in it – and waves that knock you over!” exclaimed one of Cheryl Andersen’s foster kids returning from a YMCA Day Camp field trip.

“It’s amazing,” said Cheryl. “These kids haven’t even experienced the freebies in life. At the most, we live 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean – and no one has ever taken them there. And recently, I had a fourteen year old girl who went on her first amusement park ride – EVER! It’s sad.
