2026 Annual Campfire May 29th, 30st & 31st 2026
Supervised and Safe. Let the fun and learning begin!
How It Works
Each child who attends (age 7 to 18, both male and female) must be sponsored and accompanied by an adult. That means parents, friends, grandparents, etc., may sponsor and attend our campfire weekend. Each adult may sponsor two children, or three, if one of the children is his or her own. (And we do have a tag-along program for children under age 7.)
The NYBOJC Campfire is set up in a 7-year program structure. The first year your child attends, he or she will be taught the basics like, introduction to fly tying, knots, and a history of our organization. The second year gives you a more progressive set of classes, all the way up through the seventh year, where you go one on one with an expert and take part in our Fishing with the Master’s program.
Depending on age and experience, each youth is able to participate in a dynamic, fun, and safe learning environment over the three exciting days of our annual Campfire. Here’s what a typical daily education program looks like:
-
