Each summer New York District Kiwanis Foundation operates Kamp Kiwanis, which is aimed at providing fun, physical exercise and adventure. It strives to afford opportunities to participate in a creative outdoor group experience in a democratic setting and develop characteristics of leadership and fair play.
One of the Kampers favorite activities is fishing in the pond located on the property. Early last spring Kamp Director Rebecca Clemence asked the Kiwanis Clubs for a way to keep and grow worms for the fishing Kampers.
Bob Teesdale, a member of Central Adirondack Kiwanis, volunteered. Bob's groundbreaking efforts in establishing a Bait Corral at Kamp Kiwanis were more than successful. Kampers and staff now have the ultimate peace of mind anglers require when arming for the fish-angler confrontation. Bob left no stone unturned in his work to design, plan and execute the perfect ambiance for his charges. Bob's worms have the perfect home in order to multiply and wait for their call to duty.
