Adults working with youth ages 8–15 learn how to present activities on topics such as identification of North Carolina fish species, fish adaptations and biology, habitat requirements, fishing skills, water safety and conservation ethics.

The program is open to all interested adult educators including schoolteachers; park, nature center and camp personnel; and scout leaders.

Participants will receive a copy of the CATCH student workbook and other instructional materials. All participants qualify for CEU and EEC credits.*

Cost: Workshop and all associated materials are free. ($2.00 per car gate fee applies.)
