After much planning and forecasting future trends for the Fish Camp program, it was determined that having charter buses as the sole transportation option from College Station was no longer serving participants in the best way. Increasing accessibility is a high priority for Fish Camp and was at the heart of the decision. We want to provide as many opportunities as possible for participants to get to camp in the way that works best for them.
