The Ojibwa Camp ground was a buzz with laughter and excitement where over two hundred kids gathered to go fishing. The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community hosted a kid’s
fishing day on Saturday, July 28, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon with the sponsorship and assistance of Baraga County Promise Neighborhood, Calumet/Keweenaw Sportsman’s Club and the Keweenaw National Historical Park. There were also major donations by KBOCC.
The event registered nearly two hundred and fifty kids and was host to a wide variety of different games and prize-winning opportunities. Each registered kid got a free fishing
pole, tackle box, and tackle. There was of course, plenty of different fish to catch as
well. A large pool near the registration table held rainbow trout that kids could try their hand at catching. If they wanted a more realistic experience the shoreline of Lake Superior was nearby as well as a pond where kids were catching bullheads and grass carp.
