Camps are designed for youth, age 7–15, who would like to get outside and learn the basics of fishing. Participating kids will learn how to fish, receive safety tips, casting instructions and how to clean your catch. They will also learn about fish biology, habitats and conservation—all through guided instruction, tours and educational activities.

How about a whole family trip to the Go Fish Education Center? From June 1 through August 29, the center will be open Wednesday through Saturday (9 a.m.– 5 p.m.) and Sunday (1–5 p.m.). What is there to see and do? Visit aquariums that hold more than 180,000 gallons of water and are loaded with Georgia freshwater fish and wildlife, including alligators. Try out the fishing and shooting simulators. See a working fish hatchery from our huge gallery window. All that fish-gazing will surely get you ready to try out the casting pond (bait and tackle provided). Before you leave, be sure to browse through our gift shop. Planning a group trip?
