2026 Kids Fly Fishing Camp

June 8-11 2026

Mon-Thurs

8:30am-3pm

Heber, Utah

Hamlet Park

There is no better way to spend your Summer vacation than to be on the river and learning the ins and outs of fly fishing. Whether you are a new angler to the sport, or have already been bitten by the fishing bug, our youth Summer camp is the best way to expand your fly fishing knowledge. Our four days of immersive learning will focus on a fun, safe and informative experience regarding all things fly fishing. Campers will learn everything from perfecting their cast to what the fish are eating and how to tie these flies.
