2008 CTU Youth Camp
Cherry Creek Anglers is
pleased to announce that one of our new members, Wes Carey, has been accepted to
participate in this year's CTU Youth Camp. Wes will receive a full tuition
Grant from our chapter.
Wes is age 15, and a
native Coloradan who lives in Parker and is a Freshman at Chaparral High School
there. He
believes he gets my passion for fishing from his Grandpa, as
did most of the other grandkids.
Wes’s mom also likes to fish.
Her favorite thing to do is fish on the river, like she did with her Dad,
growing up. He says, “Mom taught me how
to bait hooks with night crawlers - just like her Dad taught her.”
A beginning fly fisher,
Wes recently was given his Grandpa’s hand-me-down bamboo rod. His parents had it appraised and he was
surprised at its value, so he bought another rod to use until he becomes more
experienced.
Wes says, “I really like to rollerblade and do
tricks. My friends and I have been
checking out all the skate parks in the Denver metro area. We
like to ride the Light Rail downtown to the Denver Skate park (the one you see
on TV at the end of the news.) I also
love to go snowboarding - my favorite ski area is Winter
Park.”
Most of Wes’s friends are either on the Lacrosse or Baseball teams in
high school, as well as the other sports mentioned earlier that they do
together. He says, “I wish Chaparral had a fishing club or better than that -
a Fishing Team; then I could be fishing while the team sports practices are
going on during the week, instead of waiting for them to come home!”
Wes’s
favorite school subject is Adventure Experience, and he reports
that, “I'm normally a B student … when I get all of my homework assignments turned
in.”
He’s planning to keep his grades up too, so he can get his
driver’s permit.
He says, “People ask me what I want to be in life when I grow up?? What I tell them is that I want to be a World Renown Professional Fishing Person.”
