Get your kids out on the water this summer with Tampa Bay Kayak Anglers’ Boating & Fishing Summer Camp in Oldsmar.

The TBKA Boating & Fishing Summer Camp is perfect for children and teens interested in fishing, boating, marine biology, conservation or fish ecology. This one-week Summer Camp in Oldsmar will include hands-on learning, special guest demonstrations, team building exercises, and art projects.

Conservation Efforts

TBKA Campers Help Remove Widespread Invasive Species

Mayan Cichlids are a non-native, invasive species that is widespread throughout Florida. This non-native species has become a nuisance for the FWC to control in Tampa Bay. In 2022, TBKA campers fished hundreds of cichlids out of local ponds, helping preserve our struggling native species in Tampa Bay.
