At Stone Mountain Adventures (SMA), fishing is more than just a relaxing pastime—it’s an adventure that teaches patience, focus, and confidence. Our teen fishing summer camp offers the perfect environment for teens to enjoy the great outdoors, connect with nature, and build skills they’ll carry with them long after camp ends.

Exploring Lakes and Rivers

SMA is surrounded by beautiful lakes and rivers, giving campers access to prime fishing spots. Teens learn to read the water, choose the right bait, and understand local fish species. From quiet moments on the shore to friendly competitions with peers, fishing at SMA combines relaxation and excitement.

Skills Teens Gain at Fishing Camp

1. Patience and Focus

Fishing teaches teens to slow down and focus on the task at hand. Learning to wait for the perfect catch develops patience—a skill that benefits them in school, sports, and life.

2. Outdoor Safety and Responsibility

Our instructors emphasize proper handling of equipment, safe boating practices, and respect for the environment. Teens learn how to care for nature and follow safety rules while having fun.

3. Teamwork and Camaraderie

Fishing at SMA isn’t a solo activity—campers share tips, cheer each other on, and celebrate each catch together. This sense of community builds confidence and social skills.

4. Problem-Solving and Strategy

Every fishing trip presents new challenges, from figuring out the best technique to choosing the right lure. Teens develop problem-solving skills and adaptability while learning from hands-on experience.
