Connect with the water and learn a skill for life. There is nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first tug on the line. At Miami Ecoadventures, we break down the barriers to angling, making it accessible, fun, and deeply rewarding. Join us for our introductory two-hour Fishing for Beginners session to learn the basics and test your skills in real time. Children ages 8 – 15 can enroll in our dynamic Fishing Camp for a comprehensive, hands-on journey into the sport. Come for the skills, stay for the memories.
School is out, and the fish are biting at Bill Sadowski Park! When the classroom doors close for Teacher Planning Days and Fall, Winter, or Spring breaks, the ultimate outdoor adventure begins. Designed for young anglers ages 8–15, our Miami EcoAdventures Fishing Camp transforms school holidays into unforgettable days on the water. Campers will dive headfirst into the world of angling—learning how to rig a rod, master advanced knot-tying, and safely handle local South Florida catches, from fiery Peacock Bass to native sunfish. Surrounded by the beautiful pinelands and freshwater habitats of Bill Sadowski Park, your child will build confidence, make a splash with new friends, and learn a skill for life.
Ages: 8–15
Schedule: Aligned with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools calendar (Teacher Planning Days & School Breaks)
