Joe Budd Aquatic Educational Center
March 14th 9:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Suggested age is 7 and up (moms are usually allowed to help younger kids - this has not been a problem in the past)
This is such a great field trip. The kids are given instruction on how to fish and provided with all they need except worms. They usually catch quite a few fish and the staff help put worms on and take fish off. There is also a scavenger hunt for the younger ones and the older ones use microscopes to see what is in the lake. The only cost is your worms. You can buy them at Wal-mart. They suggest one container of worms for 2 - 3 people. If you let me know ahead of time, you can also buy them there.

They will be filming a video on how to clean and filet fish. They will instruct our kids in this. We will need to sign a release. If you are not interested in this you can still come at 10:00 a.m. for the field trip.
Wear grubby clothing, and prepare to be in the sun (sunscreen or hats). Both you and the kids may get dirty. Wear tennis shoes if you will be going on the scavenger hunt. Bring a cooler if you want to keep your larger fish. BRING A LUNCH. There is a nice picnic area.
