Trout Camp kids
By Janice Boling


Trout Camp kids had a good time camping beside the river.

Trout Camp kids were strong, brave, and smart. They were survivors -- just like their parents.

Rose, Keith, April, and Mitzi

These kids made life long memories at Trout Camp. They went fishing, built campfires, roasted marshmallows, and camped out in tents.

James attended Trout Camp from the time he was a toddler.

He was so proud of his fish -- and I don't blame him. Many adults could not get a bite.

Keith has a choice of rods.

I think he was putting his catch in a bucket.

Keith never missed Trout Camp.

He was a good boy that loved to hang out with his dad. Brian, Keith, and Rose were regulars at Trout Camp.

Girl at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

Lisa was at Trout Camp every year.

She loved camping more than any girl I have ever known.

Adam was eating a box of Hot Tamales.

All kids got prizes including candy, fishing poles, water pistols, frisbees, and other toys.

Jill and Lisa

Lisa thought it was funny that Jill had a giant house fly on her shoulder.

Mitzi did not look too thrilled with a toy gun.

She gave it to one of the younger kids.

Mitzi and April attended Trout Camp every year.

Frank took his girls everywhere. They were never far from their daddy.

Roasting marshmallows at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

Mitzi and April were roasting marshmallows.

My favorite food at Trout Camp was a Smore -- graham crackers, chocolate, and hot marshmallows mashed into a sticky, gooey mess. I was not the only one who liked these sweet treats.

Adrian and Jason explored the top of the big rock.

We never had any accidents or broken bones!

Cooking at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

Lisa smiled at the camera.

Lisa posed while Billy B turned the meat on the cooker. People and wild animals could smell the aroma of that BBQ for miles around. I guess all the noise helped keep the bears away.

Lisa was ready for bed.

That tent looked like it was really comfortable.

Easter Sunday

Lisa and other kids got candy and toys. Yes the Easter Bunny found us at Trout Camp.

Get that girl a hot dog or some candy!

Rose looked like she needed cheering up.

Rose was drinking a Seven Up.

Richard let her wear his gray sweater. At least she stayed warm!

Keith was taking a break.

He was just a little fellow -- I think Lisa loaned him that bicycle.

Looks like Brad has a bowl of chili.

Camping improved appetite and made everything taste better. It was the fresh air and wood smoke.

Charles was dressed for trout fishing.

To get the big ones, you had to sneak up on them.

Jessica and Rose

Jessica and Rose were colorful and cozy in their windproof jackets. They even matched the tarps!

Damien looked pretty happy to be at Trout Camp.

All the kids had a ball and made life-long memories.

Girls with Frisbee at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

Rose and April won a Frisbee.

That Frisbee was a hit with the kids. We had to watch out or it would hit us in the head. I think it finally landed in the river and washed away down stream.

Mitzi and April stood on rocks in the middle of the river.

Looks like the water was clear and cold.
