Summer Camp - Water Sports - Registration Opens 2/12
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 Florida Department of Children and Families. If your camper tends to experience motion sickness, we suggest a “land fishing” camp. Campers who do get seasick will be returned to shore to be picked up promptly.
Beginners – Intermediate camp Arrive by 8:15 am, boats depart promptly at 8:30 am and will not wait for those campers not in attendance.
Advance camp is available for the accomplished camper. Arrive by 6:45am, Boats leave at 7am.
Refunds are not issued for late arrivals who miss the boat. Make-ups are not available for inclement weather but account credit will be provided.
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.
