Trout Camp is all about teaching our Idaho youth stewardship of our watersheds and aquatic life. The future of conservation lies with our youth and developing their love of the outdoors. Trout Camp is a 5-day summer program for boys and girls ages 10 to 13 years. The camp emphasizes ethics, etiquette and streamside environment along with the joy of fly fishing.
Woolly Buggers is our kids' fly fishing club for youth ages 8-16+. This program gives the youth of the Treasure Valley the opportunity to learn about fish, fisheries, conservation, respect for nature, fly fishing and fly tying. Monthly meetings have special presenters and a focus on fly tying and education.
Trout in the Classroom (TIC) offers students of all ages an opportunity to raise salmonids from eggs in a classroom setting and then release them into a nearby stream or river. Caring for the fish fosters a conservation ethic in the students, and the act of walking to a bank and directly releasing the fingerlings into the water makes a concrete connection between caring for the fish and caring for the ecosystem.
In the 2024/25 school year we supplied 60 classroom fish tanks with exposure to ~6700 Idaho students. Over the past two years, IdahoGives donations enabled the TIC Program to bus approx. 200 local students to a river to release their trout fry (babies).
