It's not a cliche - children really do hold the keys to our future. It's up to us to set an example and provide guidance so that the next generation grows up with an appreciation and understanding of our natural resources, are trained in the proper way to protect them, and are equipped the personal connection that creates determined stewardship.
Our youth and education programs connect kids with the outdoors by providing the equipment and guidance to get started in fishing. We show kids the fun and food that a day on the water can provide while teaching valuable life skills. Other programs are available for adaptation to the classroom and can be styled to suit a wide array of ages and learning styles.
“I cannot say enough good about LCI. I am executive director of another nonprofit in VT caring for homeless and at-risk teenagers. Last year LCI provided a way for our teens to be out on Lake Champlain, which is a goal we had had for years. We run a series of homes for kids, all near the Lake, yet none of our kids had ever been out on the Lake, fishing or anything else. LCI finally made that possible, and for that I will always be grateful.”
