About this Course

In this camp, kids learn how to catch wild freshwater fish caught from our local waters. They’ll explore the water’s edge of Seward Park where it meets the surrounding Lake Washington and have fun playing aquatic-life-oriented games and challenges.


Contents

Camper’s will enjoy:

  • Learning how to cast and fish
  • Exploring catch-and-release vs. catch-and-eat fishing ethics
  • “Seeing through the eyes” of fish
  • Searching for wild bait and elusive turtles
  • Making new friends!



Structure

Our instructional team features:

  • A 1:9 staff-student ratio
  • On-site director and volunteers who offer additional instructor support
  • Staff trained as Coyote Mentors, a widely-respected educational philosophy developed at the Wilderness Awareness School
  • Compassionate educators who encourage each child’s respect for self, others, and nature
  • Experienced Wilderness First Aid and CPR certified professionals

Important Notes

  • There is an option to purchase a fishing pole online if you don’t already have one for your child.
  • Children might have the opportunity to learn our respectful process for giving death to an animal. 
  • Campers typically do not fish until Tuesday due to group orientation and safety training needs.
