Our camps are for 3rd-8th graders and each week costs $235. We offer two types of camps: Anglers and Adventures.

Anglers
Fish Camp is for beginners. Campers will learn how to begin their fishing skill set and learn all about the fundamentals of fishing. Topics will include tackle assembly and use, knot tying, casting, and angling techniques. While most of the day will be spent fishing, campers will learn valuable information about fish identification, fish feeding preferences, tackle selection, fish handling, and fish cleaning. Boating safety, oaring, trolling motor operation and boat fishing techniques will be covered. Campers are provided with all gear necessary for fishing. Each participant will receive a rod and reel, and each camper will be given a tackle box full of tackle. Please do not bring additional fishing equipment from home. At the close of Camp, campers take their fishing equipment home to use for future fishing. Our goal is to have participants leave camp equipped to be successful anglers.

Week 1: June 2-6
Week 2: June 9-13
Week 3: June 16-20
