At the Angling Clinic Experience, students learn about water safety, fish biology, angling skills, and angling equipment. The Angling Clinic Experience is a day-long field trip to a local pond. The clinic combines hands-on learning activities, games, teaching stations, demonstrations, and an opportunity for students to fish. Classrooms enrolled in Kokanee Karnival at the Comprehensive Level are required to participate in the Angling Clinic Experience as part of their acceptance agreement. The Angling Clinic Experience consists of the following four stations.
