Questions
At an iFishiBelong Becca Sue Klein All Kids Fish program event, the day is thoughtfully designed to inspire, educate, and connect kids with the outdoors.
Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in. At registration, you and your child will receive a lanyard indicating your child’s assigned group and river mentor.
We’ll begin the day with a welcome and introduction to our volunteers, along with an overview of what to expect throughout the event. The morning will be spent rotating through a series of hands-on learning stations. Guided by experienced instructors, participants will build foundational skills such as casting, knot tying, entomology, and fish handling. Lunch will follow immediately after the station rotations.
In the afternoon, each child will be paired one-on-one with a river mentor to put their new skills into practice while fishing on the water. This personalized experience is designed to build confidence, deepen their connection to the environment, and spark a lasting love for the sport.

Get ready for a fall day outdoors.
- Dress your child in comfortable layers suitable for a cool fall day, and be sure to bring a rain jacket just in case of wet weather.
- If your child has sunglasses or other eye protection, please bring them along. When flies are in the air, eye protection is always a great idea for added safety!
Sunscreen
Your Child’s Waders and Boots (if you have your own)
Old Sneakers (as a backup if you’re borrowing waders and boots)
If your child is borrowing waders and boots, please bring an old pair of sneakers that can get wet or dirty. While we plan to provide gear for every child, sneakers serve as a helpful backup option.
Your involvement is a key part of making this a meaningful and memorable day for your child. Here’s how you can help throughout the event:
Be Hands-On in the Morning: Join your child for all morning learning sessions. This is your opportunity to engage directly with the activities alongside your child and our instructors.
Help with Lunch: Assist in picking up and distributing lunch to your child and family/group.
Supervise Restroom Trips: Please walk your child to the restroom when needed. For safety reasons, children should not walk around the event site alone. If you need to step away from the group, be sure to inform your child’s learning station instructor or river mentor.
Be a Cheerleader in the Afternoon: During the fishing session, take a step back and let your child learn directly from their river mentor. Unless asked to assist, your role is to encourage and cheer from the riverbank.
Get excited when they hook a fish!
Encourage them if they lose one.
Celebrate their catch in a big way!
Capture the Moments: While a professional photographer will be onsite, we encourage you to bring a fully charged phone or camera to capture your child’s experience. The memories you make here will last a lifetime!
