They are there for novice anglers as well as those who have experience fishing but are new to the Tampa Bay area.

SUP:

Learn how to paddleboard from a pro guide. Start by determining your paddle length and understanding the way you can balance on the board, and then take a spin along the beach on your SUP. It’s not as hard as you think! Take a SUP for a spin without any worry – laidback guides are there to help and hang, every step of the way. Lessons are offered several times a week at locations throughout Tampa and St. Pete.

Camping:

Learn camping basics along with your little ones at a session at the park. Get the material for your camping checklist; learn how to pitch a tent in the right spot on your site with your instructor’s guidance, or reward your hard work with a perfectly cooked campfire s’more. For only $5, an afternoon at the park – hammocks and camp chairs included – is a great way to unwind on a weekday and might even inspire some weekend plans.

“This is our way of giving back to the community,” explains iTREKKERS founder Tom Mulliez. “Getting families and friends outside, hands-on making memories and learning new skills – that’s our goal.”

Mulliez encourages families with children to register for these free or low-cost local events in Tampa Bay. “If we can teach kids about the outdoors from a young age, hopefully, we can inspire them to care about the environment, and want to spend time outside in nature. It’s good for your health; it helps you recharge. There are many benefits to being outside, and we want to share them with our community. Come check out an event, and bring the family!”
