Overview
North Florida Fishing Camp is the original fishing summer camp of North Florida, now entering its 7th summer serving young anglers. Campers experience real charter fishing adventures while learning hands-on skills such as casting, rigging tackle, boating safety, and responsible fishing practices.
Our programs combine professional charter boats, experienced captains, and a small 4:1 camper-to-staff ratio to create an unforgettable experience on the water. Campers fish both inshore and offshore waters, target a wide variety of species, and build confidence while forming lifelong friendships and memories outdoors.

Welcome Message
Captain Joe and Katie Carraway, Directors & Founders
Welcome to North Florida Fishing Camp! We started this camp because we believe kids should experience the outdoors the way we did growing up. Learning real skills, building confidence, and creating unforgettable memories on the water. With small groups, experienced captains, and hands-on fishing adventures, our goal is simple: give every camper the best fishing experience of their life. We hope to see your young angler on the boat this summer.
