Our 2025 Summer Fish Camp is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to fly fish in a fun and educational setting at our private Sawmill Lake located on the Northstar Resort. Our fishing instructors are all guide certified, carry CPR/AED Certification, and most importantly love fishing with kids! We’ll take lots of pictures and provide photos and video of camp activities.

Campers are welcome to bring their own gear, but it is not required. We’ll have rods, equipment and flies for all students.
