…a change of course for those battling cancer

Floating downstream is easy, especially for those who have been fighting an uphill battle. 

Over the past two decades, the “Shooting Stars” have made their way down Montana’s rivers each summer, an activity of Camp Mak-A-Dream. Going with the flow, young adults and teens put- ting up a fight with cancer have had a chance to relax and simply be in nature. 

Since 1997, approximately 2000 individuals have participated in the float event, and many of the backers and organizers, including the man who first suggested it, Chuck Mazurek, have come from Jefferson County.
