IDS say their favorite
part of the experience
is crabbing. When
discussing their
enthusiasm for it, Cecelski’s
love for working with children
shines through: “Most of these
kids have never caught a wild
animal, so it’s really exciting
for them. Also, there’s more
technique to it than people
realize, since you have to lure
them into the net and then
keep them from escaping. The
crab will often escape and end
up somewhere around every-one’s
feet.”
An added draw for the kids
is that COS uses fish for bait
instead of chicken parts.
“We always call out, ‘Do you
want fish heads or tails?’ and
the kids love that,” laughs
Cecelski. “Also, there’s a reason
why blue crab is so revered.
They are delicious. But they are
also dangerous. This combi-nation
of the delicious and
dangerous is something every
kid loves.”
Crabbing is a real experience,
something that is increasingly
important in the modern
age, when prying a child away
from a tablet or phone can be
extremely difficult.
“There’s a lot to distract
kids away from what’s really
important these days,” Cecel-ski
says. “They really love
visiting places that have a wild
feel to them.”
Cecelski expressed his grat-itude
to the team of volunteers
at Masonboro.org, a nonprofit
that is focused on protecting
public access, promoting
responsible use and preserving
the traditions of Masonboro
Island.
