I agree that this was, at the very least, a learning experience and a chance for Luke to “mingle” with people he didn’t know (mostly us older folks and yes, I was one of the people who attended the fish camp), but also with someone his own age, making new friends.
As we go through life, all leasons learned to not necessarily come from schools and I am sure the memories Luke will have from this fishing opener will be with him his whole life.

In fact, I can think of it happening at least once a year – and my, did I ever learn some valuable lessons while away from school! Such as – I absolutely love hunting and fishing, and anything pertaining to the awesome outdoors.
