The
summer campers had a blast making fishing poles…and then using them at the pond
on our field trip to Pine Hill Woods. We did not catch anything but we had lots of fun casting the line and trying to catch some fish. We also enjoyed "catching" up with our classmates who joined us for this special adventure.
