TWO local fishing camp operators have cast aside financial concerns in
favor of building a legacy and making a positive impact on the community.
Both Jordan Nason of Wilmington Fish Camp and Christopher Shulstad
of Carolina Coast Kids Fishing Camp realized that other endeavors would
likely be more lucrative, but the chance to share their love for the ocean, fishing, and the
simple joy of being on the water proved to be impossible to resist.
“The most rewarding thing about what I do is seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces,” says
Nason, who walked away from a successful advertising career. “It just makes you feel good.”
Nason and his team offer a half-day camp through the week for children ages 6 to 15.
From his base of operations in Channel Haven near Trails End boat ramp, Nason mostly
takes campers on exploratory tours of the marshes, creeks, waterways and tidal flats behind
Masonboro Island and Wrightsville Beach.
