Wake the World 2026

Our families and children are ready for the rest, connection, and fun that comes with long summer days.

Every summer, our children look forward to spending a day of adventure and new experiences on Smith Lake with Wake the World. Kids have a blast wakeboarding, tubing, swimming and boating. Throughout the day, volunteers spend time encouraging our children and making memories with them.

For many of our children, it is their first time experiencing water activities on the lake. These new opportunities help build confidence while reminding them that they are surrounded by people who care.

We are grateful for the many boat owners and volunteers who make this day possible, creating opportunities for laughter, connection, and unforgettable summer memories for our kids.
