One of the most unique parts of this experience?
Every camper participates in our Junior Ranger Angler Program — a signature experience that sets this camp apart.
A Signature Experience
Junior Ranger Angler Program
Through the Junior Ranger Angler Program, campers learn the fundamentals of fishing in a structured, supportive environment.
With guided instruction and time on the water, kids practice casting, handling equipment, and building the patience and focus that fishing requires. Campers kayak to designated fishing areas under supervision, adding another layer of hands-on learning in a calm, well-managed setting.
This isn’t a one-time activity; it’s a skill-building experience.
Campers leave with the knowledge and materials to continue fishing beyond camp,
helping turn a new experience into a lasting interest.
This program is made possible through support from the National Park Foundation, helping connect young people to meaningful outdoor learning.
Confidence That Carries Forward
