FUDR Bill Canfield Fly Fishing Camp for Kids
A fun and educational fly fishing summer camp for kids ages 12-17.
This unforgettable experience with expert guides in a beautiful setting teeming with fish will inspire a lifelong passion for angling adventure and a commitment to sound conservation practices.
Every year Friends of the Upper Delaware River (FUDR) and the Bill Canfield Fly Fishing School partner on a great summer camp program in Hancock, NY that teaches kids (ages 12-17) about the sport of fly fishing and the importance of river conservation.
Our Location
The program takes place in Hancock, NY in the headwaters of the magnificent Upper Delaware River in the scenic Catskill Mountains. Our kids stay at the fabulous French Woods Sports and Arts Center summer camp and have access to all of the amenities of this beautiful facility during their non-fishing time.
What to Expect
Camp participants will learn how to gear up before getting on the water, fly casting, fly tying, basic entomology and river ecology. In no time at all our campers will learn how to handle and release fish after they are caught in a local pond or on the river!
