Tcaps /central grade is not $15 a day. It's $28/day or reduced to $130 for a full 5 days. My daughter went to Willow Hill's last summer, she enjoyed it. Year before that she went to the Y, and she liked that too! http://www.tcaps.net/programs/summerprograms/summeradventure/
The People Behind Trout Unlimited George Griffith Impassioned protector of trout. State Conservation Commissioner. Hosiery salesman. George Griffith organized and offered up his Au Sable River home for the first official meeting of Trout Unlimited, but he wanted somebody else to be executive director, because he felt it would conflict with serving his remaining 15 months on the Conservation Commission. He invited 60 men to the first meeting, but only 16, including Griffith, attended—an inauspicious beginning, perhaps, but Griffith helped make sure the momentum surged. Griffith called his home the Barbless Hook, a plug for catch-and release trout fishing; hooks without barbs are easily removed from fish; less damaged, they survive to be caught again. Griffith was fond of saying, “trout are too valuable to be caught only once,” and he advocated throughout his life for catch and-release fishing regulation.
