Welcome to Get Schooled – Fairfield’s Original and Favorite Fishing Camp!
For over seven years, Get Schooled has been introducing kids aged 8 to 13 to the joys of fishing while fostering lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. Founded by 2 teachers and a retired police officer, Jon, Scott, and Eric, our camp is more than just a week-long adventure—it’s an opportunity to connect with nature and learn valuable skills in a fun and engaging environment.
Why Choose Get Schooled?
At Get Schooled, we pride ourselves on being Fairfield’s first fishing camp and our commitment to the enjoyment and safety of our campers continues to set us apart. Jon, Eric and Scott bring a unique combination of expertise, leadership, and care. Their shared commitment to mentoring young people ensures every camper feels supported and inspired.
What We Do
Campers will fish every day of the camp week. They will learn new skills such as tying knots, casting techniques, equipment care, fish Identification, safe fish extraction and more! Most importantly, they will make new friends, have fun, and learn how to catch some fish. We provide individual attention from dedicated instructors that make this an unforgettable experience. Kids never forget their first big fish or the day they pulled in 12 Porgie!
