Overcoming the Perils of Canoe Lake Bobby was on his first trip to summer camp, and boy was he excited! He loved camp activities like hiking, fishing, and swimming, and lucky for him, his parents had chosen a summer camp at a well-known lake called Canoe Lake, where he would not only be able to swim, but also learn how to canoe. As his bus pulled up to the camp lodge, Bobby could barely contain himself as he waited for the other kids to exit the bus. Standing outside awaiting their arrival was a very friendly looking woman who then identified herself as the camp canoe instructor. She greeted each of them and then gathered them into a huddle to discuss camp rules.
I've never been fishing before let alone riding in a fishing boat. A couple of hours before the derby was to start my Uncle Deck was to going to teach me the fine "art" of fishing. The thought of hooking my own worm made me want to scream, just the feeling of the worms body sliding in and out of my fingers sent shivers down my spine. It was the most disgusting think I ever felt, but eventually I came over my fear and was able to hook the worm myself, just in time for the derby to start .Although I didn't catch the "big one" but the one I did catch was a twelve pound large mouth bass, it took me about forty-five minutes to finally reel it in. Uncle Deck surprised me before we left the cabin, he had the large-mouth bass I caught taxidermy and mounted on a wooden plaque for me, to this day it still hangs on the wall of my grandparents house.
