KSU'S PROGRAM OF DISTINCTION |

Many Students Fish for the First Time with KSU Staff & Student Help
|
William Bean, KSU Aquaculture's K-12 Educator & Recruiter, helped kids get their lines baited and in the water.
Camp Crooked Creek, 30 minutes south of Louisville, is an oasis for urban children who aren't able to enjoy the outoors frequently. Owned by the Lincoln Heritage Council, it is part of the 1,000- acre Old Kentucky Home Scout Reservation. Lake John Barr provides boat rides and fishing for boys and girls. On this day, cloudy skies didn't keep these kids from grabbing poles, rods and reels and heading for the water. Some caught fish. Some didn't. It was soon time for lunch. Everybody had fun.
