Fishing For Memories Brings Families Together

We provide outdoor experiences designed to strengthen the bonds between family members, restoring a rhythm of life that can be readily found in a body of water from which one can reel in a sense of joy.

How we help you

Fishing For Memories’ (FFM) programs (begun in ’04) are designed to provide fun opportunities for children and youth, ages 5 to 17, to learn about fish identification and the responsible use and conservation of the environment. Also, FFM’s programs help them learn fishing skills and participate in cooperation-building activities. FFM continually strives to provide Western Pennsylvanian children/youth and their families an encouraging atmosphere to strengthen them one memory at a time.
