Calling all inquisitive explorers, young anglers, brilliant biologists, future fish nerds, and generally nature-curious kiddos! Youth Fish & Wildlife Club aims to tap into youth curiosity and wonder, foster appreciation for nature and culture in the Alaska and Mountain-Prairie regions, engage young people informally with science, and teach proficiency in outdoor skills. Youth Fish & Wildlife Club is geared towards youth ages 8-12 but all are welcome, including younger kiddos and curious adults.
