There is an intergenerational wildlife/fisheries camp sponsored by MSU in Starkville, MS. The 5 day camp is for parents and children and is put on twice a summer. My 11 year old daughter and I went in July and had a wonderful time. We experienced hands-on pond/stream ecology, seining, fly fishing, fly-tying, bow-fishing, shooting, trapping, plants, insects, snakes, turtles, etc. We stayed in the dorms on campus at night and headed out to the field during the day with lectures in the evenings. My daughter and I have really become "buds" since. MSUcares Wildlife and Fisheries Camp

Thanks for sharing that outstanding program. - Got any pics of the adventure? (if you don't want to show "faces", I completely understand)

It looks like a great way to expands a childs interest in nature if they are already interested in one aspect of it. I know the perfect nephew's father to mention this to. Thanks for posting this. http://texaswoodlot.blogspot.com

Someone at the Pond Boss conference made the statement that everyone should introduce a young person to nature - far too few young people are enjoying the out of doors.
