Every retreat is free. That's the whole point.
Nobody in recovery should have to decide whether they can afford a day on the water. Nobody ever has, and nobody ever will. That's paid for entirely by people who give.
Nobody here takes a salary
Board, staff, guides — everyone volunteers. What that means for you is that your money goes into running retreats, not into running an organization.
Reeling in Serenity is a registered 501(c)(3). Donations are tax-deductible.

EVERY SEPTEMBER, NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH
The silent auction
Our biggest source of funding by a distance. Guided trips, gear, art and time on water you can't easily buy — donated by our partners and bid on by people who want these retreats to keep running.
OPEN NOW
The 2026 auction is live
Bidding is open through September 12-26. Every dollar goes into putting people on the water next season.
Not September? A gift of $250 puts one person on the water for a day — gear, guide, lunch and all.
The people who make this possible
Every retreat runs on borrowed water, donated gear and people who clear their calendar for a day.
These are the outfitters, shops, lodges and organizations who make it possible.
