Enjoy all of the fun of fishing with none of the mess. Stop by the camp store and try your luck at catching some Backyard Bass. Backyard Bass is great game that helps you develop the fundamental fishing skill of casting. The only downside is that the plastic fish in the grass, we'll be catching, are not as tasty as the real thing. This program serves as an excellent introduction to some fundamentals of fishing and will also provide an amusing challenge to experienced anglers. All ages welcome.
