A Fish Tail
In June of this year, I got the opportunity to help with 4-H camp for our county. Sharee Rushing the Livingston County 4-H agent requested my assistance in leading fishing classes at the Western Kentucky 4-H Camp. Over the course of the 4-H camping week, I had the opportunity to teach over three hundred 4-H youth the fundamentals of fishing. While having a great time doing so.
Two weeks after we returned from camp Sharee shared a Facebook post that one of the campers’ mothers had posted about camp. She was very pleasantly surprised that her son loved the outdoors now and had taken up fishing. She said that her whole family has been spending time together outdoors fishing as a family, thanks to the programming that we helped provide at 4-H camp.
