This is more than a fishing camp, it’s a professional, and structured experience on the water.
At Larry’s Fishing Charters, our Youth Fishing Camp was created with one clear mission:
To give kids a safe, structured, and hands-on introduction to the outdoors, while building confidence, responsibility, patience, and real-world skills on the water.
Operating out of Greenwich, Connecticut, our 2026 camp explores the waters of the Western Long Island Sound under the guidance of a Coast Guard licensed captain and experienced mate.
We welcome campers ages 8–16, from complete beginners to experienced young anglers.
No experience required. Just curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn.

These sessions are considered completed camp days.
If a full day must be canceled due to severe weather, we will offer a makeup session (typically scheduled on select weekdays in August).
Refunds are not issued for weather cancellations unless a tropical storm or hurricane disrupts an entire scheduled week.

All fishing equipment is professional-grade and maintained to high standards.
If equipment is intentionally damaged or lost due to negligence (including dropping rod/reel combinations overboard), replacement costs may be the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
