Outdoor Experience at the CARE Center in Forster Pond State Park

Class fishing at the CARE CenterWe offer limited opportunities for outdoor experiences at our CARE Center in Forster Pond State Park (Killingworth), encompassing a group fishing trip, with the option of including archery, boating, and/or hiking (upon request and availability) from mid-June to mid-August.

These field trips to the CARE Center in Forster Pond State Park are limited and there is a waiting list, so it is recommended that you submit a request at least a year in advance.

Transportation to our site and food for lunch must be arranged by the group. We can typically accommodate a minimum of 40 and no more than 50 participants with a minimum age of 11 years old.

We prioritize underserved populations, and in preparation for the event, participants must complete our online Introduction to Fishing course before attending the field trip.

If you are interested in partnering with the Fish with CARE program for a fishing event not at the CARE Center, please review this information.
