CORE VALUES
Community
Every individual who joins in our work feels a sense of inclusivity, family and oneness. Together, we serve and uplift each other becoming stronger through heart centered connectivity. We do not see color, gender, or handicap. We welcome all.
Honor
We serve and honor those who choose to put us first. This includes: veterans, first responders and their families. Doctors, life guards, fire fighters, active duty, service men and women as well. We honor their daily and past sacrifices made for all of our lives.
Ocean and Bay Stewardship
Our health and that of our earth’s atmosphere is dependent on the ocean. Lido Paddle Project promotes its health and seeks opportunities to ensure its wellness including beach clean ups, paddle clean ups and building awareness of our oneness with our precious waters.
Wellness
Paddling and kayaking promote natural immunity. The benefits include inner balance, heart health, circulation, cardiovascular strength, mental health, leg, arm and core strength. All of our activities both on and off the water develop inner stability which helps to combat daily stressors reducing the effects of PTSD, depression and related ailments.
