Fish Camp! - Do you know a young person who wants to learn how to fish?  Designed for beginning anglers, our campers learn the basics of fishing for cold and warm water fish while also participating in more traditional camp activities such as arts and crafts, archery, and hiking.  An additional highlight for many kids is the 1/2 day raft trip down the lower Sandy River.  Campships are typically available for families that need some help with the camp fee.
