Thank you to the Wildhorse Foundation for their generous $8,100 grant in support of our salmon education program! These funds will go toward our Salmon in School program as well as our new summer Kids' Salmon Camp, giving more kids in southeastern Washington the opportunity to learn about and experience their local ecosystem.

The new school year may be starting but we're still thinking about the amazing Kids' Salmon Camp we hosted in Dayton earlier this month. "I thought fishing was going to be boring but it's so much fun!" is what Aurora, age 7, said right after this photo was taken. "I want to be a fisher when I grow up!"

How many times did YOU go fishing this summer? 🎣

We had so much fun at our first Kids' Salmon Camp that we're going to do it again!

This time we'll be in Dayton, the week of Aug 10.

Registration is open now. Contact Sarah at [email protected] for registration information.

This summer, we offered our first Kids' Salmon Camp!

Activities at the four-day camp taught kids about salmon and gave them practice at their fishing skills .

Exciting moments included looking for small fish and crayfish in Mill Creek and a PIT tag obstacle course where kids pretended to be migrating salmon while carrying a tag. Part of the task was to crawl through the sensor and get counted as a "salmon"!

Thank you to The Brabson Family Foundation for your support, Michael Herr from the Snake River Research Lab, Ranger Dillon Benitez and Bobber from USACE, Drew Trogstad-Isaacson and the WWCC Water and Environmental Center, and Dr. Christy Kuhlman for your help!

After a month of release events saying goodbye to the fish raised in Salmon in School, we also said farewell to Sara Gabriel.

After three years as our Environmental Educator, teaching thousands of students and releasing thousands of fish, she's heading to grad school to continue her path as an educator.

We will miss her creativity and enthusiasm, as captured in these photos.

Best of luck to you Sara!
