FISH ON THE FLY
The rains came, the streams swelled, but that did not discourage our group of avid fly fishing campers. They spent every waking moment tying flies, setting up and taking down gear, loading gear, traveling, and FISHING! Lots of FISHING!
Enrichment with Galax Middle School
What a week loaded with lots of fun both inside and out! The students of Galax Middle School played games, made camp, knapped arrowheads, and caught BIG fish.

They set out to experience all the habitats and environs of the prominent fish species of the area and that they did!
