Specialty Camps

Some camps are really hard to find, such as fishing camps.  They do exist, but they can’t focus on all kinds of fish.  If your child loves bass fishing, then you have to look into Candlewood Fishing Camp in western CT.  This camp offers week-long overnight sessions where your child can fish for bass every day with the best professional guides and local tournament fishermen.   The camp sits on 100 acres of woodlands directly on Candlewood Lake.  Campers are technology-free and focused on being in the outdoors and making new fishing buddies.  Candlewood Lake ranks as one of the top bass fishing lakes in the country!
