First MAte Camp

Ahoy and welcome to First Mate Camp where campers will learn boating and fishing skills needed to assist a Captain and become a good First Mate.  Each camp week is uniquely themed by targeting a specific fish species.  All learning will be related to the fish of the week including catching and rigging the most effective bait, locating the targeted species, knot tying, hooks, weights, fishing line and more.  Campers will experience hands-on learning and gain essential marine skills including boat safety and marine terminology, cast netting, rod casting, boat launching procedures. Learning will take place alongside a USCG Charter Captain on the water in a boat and on dry land.   Safety will be the #1 priority followed closely by learning and having fun! Daily lunch provided by Ozona Blue Restaurant (kids menu).      

Campers need: Water bottle, sunshirt, hat, light snack, positive attitude and wear sunscreen.

Boat Fishing

Here is one of Palm Harbor’s most unique camp opportunities as campers become part of the crew of a small fishing charter boat!  They will enjoy the waters of Pinellas and learn all about their surroundings, fishing techniques and fish identification. 

Each boat is led by a US Coast Guard approved Fishing Charter Captain, who is fully insured and background screened by the FL Department of Children & Families.  If your camper has a tendency to experience motion sickness, we suggest “land fishing” camp.  Campers who do get seasick will be returned promptly to shore for parental pick-up. 

Please arrive 15 minutes early (by 8 am) for check-in. Boats depart promptly and will not wait for those campers, not in attendance.  Refunds are not issued for late arrivals who miss the boat. Inclement weather make-up day will be held on Thursdays.

Campers Need: water-appropriate clothing and flip-flops or water shoes along with hats, water, light snacks and sunscreen. Campers will be loaned a fishing pole to use during camp.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
