On Monday and Tuesday campers will be at the museum learning about fishing equipment, rules and regulations and the habitats where to catch the magnificent fish. Every Friday morning campers will apply what they've learned and practiced all week to catch the "big one" in South Miami on the Reward Fishing Fleet. On Friday afternoon, parents and other family members are welcomed to join IGFA and the campers in a graduation at 3:00 p.m. where a slide show of the week's adventures will be shown and the anglers will be able to tell tall "tails" about their experiences.
