Backcountry Camp
Discover the Ultimate Fishing Adventure in the Florida Keys
Campers have the unique opportunity to explore both the calm, crystal-clear waters of the backcountry flats and mangrove channels, as well as the vibrant, deep-blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
​
Florida Bay serves as the perfect playground for learning the art of inshore fishing. Young anglers focus on light tackle, sight fishing, and targeting prized species such as tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish, and snook. Winding mangrove creeks and turquoise flats provide ideal conditions for chasing these exciting fish, offering a rewarding mix of challenge and success with every cast.
​
Beyond the flats, the Atlantic Ocean opens an entirely new world of adventure. Campers venture into open waters, where the thrills of fishing reach a whole new level. The ocean offers chances to encounter larger, more powerful species and teaches kids how to adapt their techniques to changing conditions. Every trip becomes a lesson in observation, patience, and strategy—reading currents, spotting baitfish, and predicting the movement of game fish.
​
Our camp blends hands-on fishing instruction with the excitement of exploring one of the most unique and productive ecosystems on the planet. This immersive experience creates memories that go far beyond a typical day on the water.
​
Guided by experienced instructors, campers develop sight-fishing skills, casting accuracy, and proper fish-handling techniques—all while surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Keys. But our camp is about more than fishing. From early-morning casts to watching dolphins and manatees glide past, every day brings new challenges, discoveries, and unforgettable moments.
​
Whether your camper is casting for the first time or honing advanced skills, our backcountry camp delivers nonstop excitement, hands-on learning, and stories that will last a lifetime.
