Experience hands-on fishing and valuable instruction regarding saltwater fishes, their habitats, and various fishing techniques with the goal of creating a new “school” of responsible anglers. Most aspects of fishing are covered, ranging from fish identification and fish biology to basic boat navigation and ethical angling techniques.
Campers will leave our Sensing Nature camp with a greater appreciation for the sport of fishing as well as new angling skills. Campers are provided all the necessary fishing gear needed during camp activities.
