Coosa Riverkeeper hosts a variety of Coosa Riverkeeper Environmental Education for Kids (C.R.E.E.K) events throughout the year. These programs offer children an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the Coosa. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and anglers to get out on the water and explore nature.
September is full of C.R.E.E.K. events children ages 5-17 are invited to attend to learn more about fishing, safe swimming, outdoor recreation and the wildlife of the Coosa River. See dates, details, and how to sign up below.
Free Fishing Clinics:
These events offer kids an opportunity to learn about safe fish handling, knot tying, casting techniques and a chance to put them all into practice. Each attendee will go home with everything they need to begin their journey as an angler of the Coosa. These are completely free but you must RSVP, as we have a limited number of spots available for each clinic. See FAQ’s and more information on the sign up form for each event.
