Kid Camps

What Kids Will Experience at Camp

Your young angler will spend the day fishing aboard a boat with one of our
experienced, full-time Captains while exploring the incredible waters of
Tampa Bay. Campers will have the opportunity to catch multiple inshore
species, experience local wildlife up close, and enjoy a fun, social
environment alongside other kids their age.

This camp is designed to be hands-on, engaging, and unforgettable. Kids
won’t just learn about fish—they’ll actively fish for them. Throughout the
day, campers will have opportunities to fish, swim, explore, and simply
enjoy being kids outdoors.

Everything needed for a successful day on the water is included, from
quality fishing tackle to fresh-caught live bait. Our team is made up
exclusively of local, full-time Captains who are fully licensed and
insured. Many of our Captains are parents themselves and understand how to
keep children safe, engaged, and excited throughout the day.

What Your Kids Will Learn

Whether your child is picking up a fishing rod for the first time or
already has experience on the water, there is something for every skill
level.

Campers will learn:

• Safe and responsible boating and fishing practices
• Teamwork and positive interaction with other campers
• Casting fundamentals and techniques to improve accuracy
• Fish identification and local Tampa Bay species knowledge
• How to tie fishing knots
• How to rig both live bait and artificial lures
• Fishing skills that build confidence and create lifelong memories

Our goal is for every child to leave camp with new skills, new friendships,
and a greater appreciation for the outdoors.

Camper Behavior & Safety

Safety is our highest priority.

All campers are expected to behave respectfully toward fellow campers,
Captains, and staff while following all safety instructions at all times.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, harassment, unsafe
behavior, or actions that negatively impact the experience of others.

If a camper’s behavior creates a safety concern or repeatedly disrupts the
group, parents or guardians will be contacted and asked to make immediate
arrangements for pickup. You will also forfeit your payment for the
remainder of the camp sessions.
