The tournament is open to all student anglers, including middle school and elementary school students accompanied by an adult.

Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and will remain open until all available spots are filled or until the registration deadline of June 2, 2021.

Adults will have the option to drop off their students or stay throughout the camp to participate in special panel discussions geared to identify best practices that give high school anglers and fishing teams the edge they need to thrive in the industry.
