Youth Wildlife Experiences

Trout Adventures provides hands-on experience activities designed to connect youth with wildlife and their habitats.  Examples include the "what fish eat" activity where participating youth and accompanying adults learn about what fish eat, the life cycle of aquatic macro invertebrates they might find in local waterways, and create replicas of animals preyed upon by trout using craft materials.  We provide these activities in a number of settings, from public youth days events to bringing them into the classroom.

Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience & Nevada Outdoor Experience

The Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience  (YWCE) and Nevada Outdoor Experience  (NOE) are events designed  "to excite and inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts."  Both events are held annually and are organized by the Wild Sheep Foundation.  YWCE is held next door to the Sheep Show in Reno while NOE is held in Carson City. 

We'll be at both events this year.  YWCE 2026 will take place on Saturday, 22 January 2026 at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center!
