OUR MISSION is to save lives through education and self rescue techniques.
Project Skipper was developed to educate children and parents about the dangers of ice-covered lakes, rivers, and ponds and to teach life-saving techniques to prevent drowning.
Project Skipper was born out of tragedy and the need to see others not suffer an ice related drowning . Project Skipper has been reaching children and parents in many ways through teaching the simple life saving steps. The Skipper message has been well received and growing. There are new opportunities that present themselves which help us to spread our message
Project Skipper is a registered not-for-profit organization dedicated to teaching kids and their parents the dangers of going onto ice covered bodies of water.
