This camp is perfect for little anglers! They learn how to fish off of the pier, in the surf and in the sound, all while learning about fish and their habitat. On day one, campers learn to cast safely by using casting plugs without using hooks. Then, the small fries try “fishing” for plastic replicas of species that anglers catch on and around the pier. Next, campers learn how to set up their own rod and bait their own hook. They also participate in a variety of arts and crafts, including a make-and-take fish print T-shirt project and games such as “Food Web Frenzy.”
