For hands-on activities for youngsters nothing beats the IGFA Junior Angler annual Summer Camps beginning in June.
Now in its ninth year at the IGFA International Fishing Hall of Fame in Dania Beach, Fla., the association will be offering nine weeklong summer camp adventures for children ages 8 - 13 running from June 9 - August 15th.
Campers spend time in the museum where they learn about fishing techniques, conservation, marine biology, tying flies & jigs, and participate in simulated fishing tournaments. Field trips take the campers on a variety of fresh and salt water adventures: drift boat, pier and shore fishing, wetlands exploration and much more. These camps give children the opportunity to have fun while being educated on local habitats and ethical practices. During each week-long experience, campers will discover the importance of the different fresh and salt water habitats for sport fishing.
For a chance to experience the exciting activities in store, parents and their youngsters can come to the IGFA on Saturday, May 17th from 10 a.m. to noon for a Summer Camp Open House. For much more information, please call 954-924-4309, email reservations@igfa.org, or visit www.igfa.org/camps.asp.
