Youth Outreach Volunteer Program

Youth Conservation and Fly Fishing Day Camp

Volunteers are needed for this July’s Youth River Conservation and Fly Fishing Day Camp. We will have fifteen youths ages 14-18, and need volunteer Mentors for general supervision and instruction. Interested volunteers should see detailed information on our Day Camp Volunteer page.

Trout in the Classroom

We need a Trout In the Classroom (TIC) Program Coordinator to interface with the teachers and oversee the program. Activity begins in early September and continues into early Spring when the fish are released. This is a fun job!
