Every kid should go fishing...

This day we fish, catching our swimming friends with a cast of a reel and a fly road. We learn about trout, carp and sturgeon; all species and how they hide.

We learn to cast both a reel rod and a "Huck Finn" pole. We wait patiently along the river wishing for fish.

We sit by the shore enjoying the last of the summer days and we learn the story of the Salmon and how they are preparing to return from the ocean, for the fall.

We sit and watch the Great Blue Heron, watch him slowly stir the waters to bait the fish with a ripple, making them think it's an insect.

Our Philosophy for Learning & Living

A Smile

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess
