May begins our focus on youth fishing programs for both Landings residents & kids from greater Savannah. Here is some background on our initial events to be hosted at our Education Center & Kids Lagoon at Log Landing Road here at The Landings
Our 1st event will be Monday morning @ 9:00 on May 8th @ the Kid’s Fishing Lagoon where we’ll be hosting 20 honor students from Oglethorpe Charter School who have chosen fishing as their “Spring Fling” reward for outstanding academic achievement.
Our 2nd event is scheduled for Saturday morning @ 9:00 May 13th with our local Skidaway Girl Scout troop. CCA Skidaway will have a strong start to the summer with these two events and we will continue with additional events through July. During these events each child will spend over an hour attempting to catch a fish with the help of a volunteer.
A key part of the success of CCA Skidaway events is the role volunteers play in making it a memorable day for every participant. We’re looking for volunteers to help with our popular Youth, Nature, and Angling Programs.
Parents and youth leaders agree spending time outdoors and learning about our island’s varied natural environment and our abundant fish and wildlife species is one of the great benefits of life on our island.
Volunteers Are Needed for the upcoming “CCA Kids Fishing Events” to be held during May, June & July.
These upcoming events are scheduled to be held at the CCA Outdoor Education Center located at the Kid’s Fishing Lagoon. This year to simplify the process we are sending out only one volunteer email for all the CCA Skidaway Children’s events as opposed to multiple as we have done in the past.

Given that we all have busy calendars, we are hoping that by sending to you this one request that you can choose which event(s) you would like to be a volunteer for. This will help you and CCA Skidaway better manage our collective calendars as we plan out our events.
We need your help to volunteer as a Fishing Buddy. As a Fishing Buddy you will help kids stay safe, bait hooks, land fish for youngsters when needed, untangle lines, and identify which kids need help and show them what they need to do to successfully “catch fish”.
