Kids can try their hand at fishing and fishing skills, golf, outdoor adventure activities, interactive games, plant and animal discovery, nature crafts, bicycle repair, and more!
Young visitors can have the opportunity to try a variety of fun activities, including fishing, golf putting and chipping, nature crafts, and more!
Basic fishing skills and techniques will be offered along the canal. Children can learn types of bait for fishing and how to bait the hook properly. After reeling in the “catch of the day,” Cleveland Metroparks will help identify and explain the species of fish. A variety of nature and environmental organizations will be on hand with activities and displays to enjoy, too.
Children can pick up a Youth Outdoor Odyssey “passport” for their journey and as they complete a station, they will receive a stamp in their passport. When they complete 5 of the 8 stations, the children may redeem their passport for a prize!
Youth Outdoors, a partnership between Cleveland Metroparks, Ohio State University Extension 4-H and the City of Cleveland Division of Recreation, makes a difference in the lives of urban youth, ages 8 to 18, in outdoor recreation and environmental education programs - by experiencing nature, developing outdoor recreation skills, gaining a life-long appreciation and understanding of natural resources, and learning valuable life skills.
