If your child finds pond fishing to be a comforting, peaceful pastime, or if he thrives on the fast action of deep sea fishing, sign him up for fishing camp. Typically boasting lakefront settings, fishing camps usually take place in the summer. Kids can go out on the lake with qualified instructors during the day to learn the mechanics of fishing, from baiting a hook to reeling in a fish. Then later, they're treated to field games, bonfires, arts and crafts, talent shows, swimming or even co-ed dances at night. Other camps are focused mainly on wilderness fishing for several hours per day, with breaks for meals. Kids get unlimited intensive instruction and can catch several fish per day depending on the season.
Counselor Certifications: Instructors should be proficient in fishing, and should have many years of experience. They should all be background checked as well. Some compete on a professional or amateur level.
What to Ask the Camp Director: What ages are best for the summer fishing camps? Many camps have a set age group they cater to, such as boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 17, with no severe mental or physical disabilities.
What to Pack: Parents should check the weather first and pack accordingly for their child. Kids will be out on the water a lot, so lightweight, breathable clothing and comfortable, dry sneakers or boots work best, along with heavier sweatshirts for nighttime campfires.
