The Pelagic Kids Fishing Camp, operating this summer out of Greenwich and Norwalk, was formed with the goal in mind of getting kids out of the house and onto the water to have fun and learn about their local fisheries.
The camp will run 5 days a week, 1 half day session per day, with a special evening session for children 12 and up.
The camp is offered to children between the ages of 8 and 18 and of all skill levels. They welcome and encourage first timers to participate.
Campers will explore the waters of the Long Island Sound, for a complete, unique outdoor experience. Children will be guided by Coast Guard licensed captains daily, teaching them the basic fundamentals needed to catch their own fish.
Safety is the utmost priority. All campers are required to wear life vests while on board. As part of each session package, life vests will be provided for all campers, however campers are free to bring their own.
The boat captains are all licensed as required by the United States Coast Guard in First Aid and are CPR certified, with full background checks and random drug testing.
The camp boats are licensed and fully insured.
