Our Advanced Summer Fishing Camp was birthed thanks to parent-demand! Our Horseshoe Lake camp has been a major success but as our campers got older and essentially "graduated" from that camp, the amount of parents asking for another youth program geared at slightly older kids was overwhelming. We now have that option! These camps are geared towards older and more experienced anglers - registration is open to anglers entering 5th - 12th grade for the upcoming school year and with a good bit of fishing experience. Each camp is weekly and consists of 3 on-the-water boat trips. We will fish Mon, Tues, and Thursday (Wed & Fri are rain dates if needed) on Lake Hopatcong. All fishing will be from our large 24' Fishing Pontoon Boat and will be led by LHGS Founder, Aaron Graybill. We will fish differently each day and high-level instruction will be given regarding each different technique, target species, and fishing location. In addition, all who attend (and families!) are invited to tour the Hackettstown Fish Hatchery together, fish the stocked bass ponds, and learn about NJ Fish & Wildlife career paths and opportunities.

These hatchery tours are outside of camp hours on Friday afternoon after the 3rd week (all campers from weeks 1-3 are invited) and after the final Friday of the 6th and final week (campers from weeks 4-6 are invited).*
