FISH CAMP

June 22 - July 26, 2026
July 6 - July 10, 2026

Fish Camp is designed for those who want a more focused outdoor experience, where respecting safety protocols and learning new skills is a sincere interest. Our days largely will revolve around the art of fishing, which we will do at a rotation of locations. We will learn the necessary skills for fishing, such as tying knots, choosing appropriate gear, casting, as well as cleaning, processing, and cooking edible fish that we catch. These activities will be carried out within the context of giving thanks for the gifts of nature and tending the well-being of the special places we will visit within our bio-region. 

Note: Campers are welcome to bring their own fishing gear. We will have gear to share, as well.
