One of our most popular camps! Hook, Line and Sinker Camp takes campers around to some of the best fishing spots in the county to try their hand at reeling in the big catch! We teach the fundamentals of fishing, such as how to put together the best line for the location and desired catch, how to safely handle a rod to prevent harm to yourself and those around you, and the little behaviors that will better your chances of catching a fish. Throughout the week we will take them pier fishing at various locations, and out on a half-day boat to go out onto the open water after the biggest catches possible. Don’t have your own rod? No problem! While we encourage campers to bring their own rods, we do have loaner rods for those who don’t have their own that will still do the trick.

There’s nothing quite like a warm, hearty, home-cooked meal!

From familiar favorites to new global classics, each dish is chosen for the simple delight it brings. Join us as we discover how food can connect us, comfort us, and make every kitchen feel like home.
