For many of our young Wet & Wild campers, last week brought them their very first experience holding a rod & reel. Two full days at the beach, under a gorgeous blue sky, provided plenty of time for fishing instruction, led by Ohio Sea Grant's Kelly Riesen (who's based at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center.) Kelly, along with our wonderful education staff, dedicated volunteers and junior counselors baited hooks, untangled lines, encouraged patience and applauded each catch (before releasing the fish back into Lake Erie.) Of course, Camp Wet & Wild isn't just about fishing. The week was packed with our unique mix of hands-on science & nature lessons, crafts, games, picnics and hikes.
