This page is currently being updated for the 2026-27 school year.
We are so excited that you want to bring your kiddos out for a day of fishing! This day is intended to be a culminating experience having completed an angler program in the PE classroom. Prior to coming out to the ranch, students will already have exposure to casting rods. Parents will arrive before the buses and we will get them acquainted with helping out at the stations.
Teachers and students will arrive sometime between 9:30-10:00am, it all depends on when transportation leaves your school. We know the time and distance varies, will be waiting for you!
When you arrive, you will unload and break into homeroom groups (or 5 groups, whichever is less) and we will give you an overview of the day, and then you are off to explore the world of anger education!
Teachers will rotate with classes to the 5 stations listed below. Lunch will be at the end of the morning, typically around 12:30p. After lunch, you will board the buses between 1-:30p and head back to campus. We hope you have a wonderful day!
