MISSION

To help children live life to the fullest by encouraging them to embrace nature and all the fun and enjoyment that comes from "Discovering the Outdoors."

PHILOSOPHY

Our primary goal is to re-connect families and expose them to the wonders of the outdoors by offering a variety of quality and educational products designed to ensure an enjoyable and successful outdoor experience. With hectic schedules, as well as an overabundance of electronics available to children today, there has been less and less time spent outdoors. Quality time spent in an unstructured activity with friends and families is almost lost. It is also a sad and known fact that obesity in children is now an epidemic in the United States.

Kid's Katch strives to have the next generation of children live healthier lifestyles and experience, appreciate and respect all that the Great Outdoors has to offer. We are proud to be supporters of the No Child Left Inside (NCLI) act, a coalition created in 2006 to find new ways to encourage children to experience nature and learn about the environment.  Kid's Katch has also recently partnered with the Future Fisherman Foundation which also shares in our mission to get children outside and Discover the Outdoors, and supports First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative that was announced in early February 2010, which is a very ambitious campaign to End Childhood Obesity in One Generation. Our Kid's Katch and KGEAR products are strategically designed to encourage children to go outside and engage all of their senses and allow our natural surroundings to inspire and educate.

OUR STORY

Kid's Katch and our KGEAR brand is a part of Kid's Life, Inc,  a USA based company with offices in Long Island, NY and Cape Cod, MA, both ideal locations for outdoor activities. Our passion for instilling a lifelong respect and love for nature in our children was inspired by Kirsten Glavin, the daughter and Goddaughter of the co-founders, who won $25,000 in the 2004 WICC Greatest Bluefish Tournament on Earth at the age of 12. The large amount of national media attention that she received made us aware of how interested the public was in fishing, particularly in children. Both co-founders and our families come from generations who were raised and made a livelihood on and around the water. This sparked our mission to develop fishing and outdoor gear and accessories designed with children's needs and desires in mind, so as to help kids have fun as they learn and enjoy the art and recreational benefits of fishing and other outdoor activities.

Life's simplest pleasures are often the best, so let Kid's Katch provide you with the equipment to have fun with your family, connect your children with nature and "Discover the Outdoors!"
