Florida Fantasy Fishing Camp

If your teen or tween can't get enough of fishing, then look no further than the Florida Fantasy Fishing Camp. The day and sleepaway camps in St. Petersburg welcome aspiring anglers ages 9-15 to spend a week on the water honing their fishing skills. Four sessions are available throughout June and July.

A typical day starts with kids heading out to explore Tampa Bay in bay boats with professional fishing guides. After four hours of fishing, campers head to a local marina for lunch.

Following that, they attend a session led by a marine industry professional or learn additional fishing skills like knot tying, tackle rigging, and cast netting. Kids can also relive their best catches and cheer on new friends by watching a highlight slideshow.

In the evening, campers can shore fish, swim, kayak, or just relax before returning to their waterside dorm on the University of South Florida campus. Apart from the summer, they also offer programs throughout the school year in the spring and fall.
