Blackout Outfitters Outdoor Skills Academy
Youth Angler & Watercraft Training Program (Ages 10–15)
The Blackout Outfitters Outdoor Skills Academy is an 8-week hands-on training program designed to teach kids real outdoor skills through fishing, kayak operation, and on-the-water safety training.
This is not a typical summer camp. Our program is built around structured skill development, small-group instruction, and real-world experience on the water. Students learn how to confidently fish for multiple species, safely operate a kayak, understand fish behavior and habitat, and develop lifelong outdoor confidence.
With a maximum of only 5 students per session, every participant receives personalized coaching, real-time feedback, and hands-on instruction throughout the program.
