NC Catch

Saturday, July 14

9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

NC CATCH (Caring for Aquatics Through Conservation Habits) is an aquatic resource education program that provides workshop training to adults to enable them to work with youth ages 8 to 15 in discovering aquatic environments through learning activities, educational materials, aquatic field trips and fishing experiences. NC CATCH is taught by a North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission education specialist and is appropriate for educators and youth leaders that introduces participants to proper conservation habits, outdoor ethics, fish and aquatic species information, water safety tips and practical fishing skills. At each workshop, participants receive an NC CATCH Instructor's Guide. Trained participants are eligible to order student handbooks, posters, fish identification cards and fish mobiles and obtain rod and reel loan information. Middle school teachers, curriculum specialists, scout leaders, recreation therapists, park personnel, camp counselors, fishing and environmental club members, 4-H leaders and other youth leaders will find these materials adaptable and appropriate. North Carolina CATCH is interdisciplinary and can be used to meet many middle school competency goals and objectives. This 6-hour workshop counts as a Criteria I workshop in the NC Environmental Education Certification Program.
