Each camper will fish with a professional guide, with approximately three campers assigned to most boats. Campers will eat breakfast each morning before traveling to the marina. Campers are typically picked up from the marina between approximately 11:00 and 11:30 a.m.
With a limited group of 25 anglers per session, your child will forge lasting connections with fellow young adventurers. It's about creating friendships, sharing stories, and bonding over the love of fishing. If you don't make it into the same camp as a friend, you're sure to make new friends and long lasting memories.
Camp Hook Spit is a week-long overnight fishing camp that brings together anglers ages 12 through 17 to enjoy, learn, and improve their fishing skills. Campers fish with professional guides, experience both saltwater and freshwater angling, and participate in a variety of outdoor activities and competitions in a rural ranch setting.
Final day — family invited, Rudy's BBQ, awards ceremony
On the final day of camp, campers will participate in the Camp Hook Spit bay fishing tournament. Parents and family members are invited to attend the tournament weigh-in at camp. After the weigh-in, Camp Hook Spit will provide a Rudy's Bar-B-Q lunch for campers, parents, and family members. Following lunch, everyone will return to the weigh-in area for the final awards ceremony.
Parent testimonial — independence, friendships, life skills
"I'm thrilled to share the incredible experience my daughter had at camp. From day one, she was immersed in a world of new adventures, friendships, and learning. The camp not only provided her with unforgettable memories but also fostered important life skills and a sense of independence. We're grateful for such a fantastic experience and look forward to her returning next year."
Camp staff must be informed of every medication a camper brings to camp, including the medication name, dosage, purpose, and the times it is normally taken. Camp staff is available to hold and distribute medications according to the camper's normal schedule. Campers who require injections or another private medication routine will be provided with an appropriate area and reasonable privacy to administer their medication. Narcotics and controlled substances must be turned over to camp staff upon arrival so they can be secured and distributed according to the camper's prescribed schedule.
Transportation during camp — vans to marina and activities
Camp Hook Spit will provide all necessary transportation during scheduled camp activities. This includes daily transportation to and from the marina for guided fishing trips. Camp transportation is generally provided using two Ford Transit passenger vans, each capable of carrying up to 12 campers.
Campers are allowed to have access to their cell phones 24 hours a day so that parents and campers may communicate with one another. Campers may take their cell phones on the boats during the week to take photographs and videos of their fishing experience.
Food allergies and dietary restrictions — how they're handled
Parents or guardians must notify camp staff before camp if a camper has celiac disease, a food allergy, food intolerance, or another special dietary requirement. Advance notice allows camp staff time to purchase appropriate foods and prepare suitable meals, sandwiches, and snacks. Parents may also provide approved food products for their camper when they arrive at camp.
Campers will have their selection of meals each day with plenty of snacks and drinks to fill them over each and every day. Each camper may select a sandwich to take on the boat, including ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, or peanut butter and jelly. Campers will also receive chips and may take available snacks such as granola bars or fruit snacks.
Personal flotation device — mandatory safety requirement
Every camper must bring a properly fitted Type II or better personal flotation device. Campers are required to wear their flotation devices whenever the boat motor is running. A personal flotation device is mandatory for every camper and must be brought to camp.
