Fishing Camp
Spend your summer days fishing for a feast. Visit the fantastic waterways of the Bay Area and beyond. Learn to cast and care for reel, rod and fishing gear. Sit by the shore and enjoy the summer sun and, if you master the secrets of stillness and silence, cook your catch over an open fire.
The Trackers Fishing Experience
Trackers fishing camps represent years of experience taking kids fishing. Our Mariners Guild knows the best locations and what works for kids. Our guidelines for safety around water, fishing tackle and shorelines have no equal. Campers also experience Bay Fishing, learning how to use crab pots for as crabbing.
Finally, every camper gets a chance to learn with reel and rod fishing tackle while they also craft their own "Huck Finn" style bamboo pole to take home.

Please Note Like all great fishing trips sometimes we catch a-lot of fish, sometimes we catch nothing. Yet we always have a tall tale to tell. If we do catch a fish this often means eating them in an open fire feast. This is NOT a catch and release camp. We encourage them to gut, clean and eat the fish they catch. At Trackers we feel understanding this cycle of life is a healthy process. We recommend you preface it with your child in the manner best suited for your family and its values.
