Fishing Kids Program
The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation’s Fishing Kids Program was established in 1996 and is built around the slogan “Getting more kids fishing, more often”. The Fishing Kids Events are designed to create and provide more fishing opportunities for urban youth, ages 5-14. Each event hosts approximately 500-1,200 children and for a $5 entry fee each participant receives a Fishing Kids t-shirt, rod & reel to keep! The kids fish in groups on-shore for up to 60 minutes receiving instruction by experienced anglers, or guides, on angling techniques and environmental stewardship. The parents are encouraged to participate with their children and prior to each fishing session each group receives a tutorial on water safety.
