When You Give a Second Grader a Fishing Pole …

The students also learned valuable lessons in patience and responsibility. It was a day filled with discovery, lots of laughs, and a few fishy tales to tell!

Fun Facts:

  • We ended the day with eighteen trout and a crawdad.
  • Fable’s persistence paid off as she hooked the same fish twice.  On the third try, she was able to reel him in, marking the biggest catch of the day! Her determination and skill were awe-inspiring.
  • Our Summit chaperones truly are the unsung heroes of the day. Their support and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t have managed without every one of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 
  • The students were so engrossed in fishing that we didn’t even get a chance to do any hiking. Their enthusiasm and focus were a testament to the engaging nature of the trip.
