▌ Editor's read The provided URL loads successfully and describes the Trailblazers Day Camp: Fishing Fanatics, a day camp for children aged 6-12, hosted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' Outdoor Adventure Center. The camp runs from 9 AM to 4 PM, with extended care options available. It focuses on teaching fishing techniques, fish identification, and water safety. The cost is $150 per week, with a discount for Friends of the OAC members. The camp is not listed in the ACA directory. There is no explicit mention of staff-to-camper ratios or background check policies on the camp's specific page. The Outdoor Adventure Center has a Google review rating of 4.7 stars based on 1,500+ reviews, though these reviews are for the center itself and not specifically the camp. The camp is clearly a day program and is operated by a state government entity (Michigan DNR), making its owner type 'university' in the broader sense of a public educational institution, or more specifically 'municipal-parks' given its nature.

Who thrives here Ages 9–13

Trailblazers Day Camp: Fishing Fanatics sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something. Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right sports fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
