In addition to fishing, kids will also learn topics such as fish identification, knot tying, basic boating rules and safety, catching bait & shrimp with a cast net, and the importance of being environmentally friendly. No two days are exactly the same and anglers can expect fun on every tide. The camp is designed so that every skill level will have a fun and rewarding time.

No experience or athleticism is required, but kids must be between the ages of 8 – 17 and be physically able to move freely and without restriction around a small boat. A desire to have fun is a plus, but will come naturally after the first fish!

This is a 4 day camp which runs every week, Tuesday thru Friday from 6:30 am – 10:30 am with the exception of July 4 week which is Monday thru Wednesday.  Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check-in.
