In addition to the adults accompanying children, this event would not happen without the dedication and creativity of many volunteers. We need a few volunteers to set up on Friday night, many volunteers on Saturday to register the kids, measure fish, shuttle people to boats, clean up, take pictures, and so much more. If you would like to participate, please submit your name and details in the form below. We will be in touch.

Please note we can also provide high school students with time towards their volunteer hours.

Event Registration Deadline – July 3, 2025 by 5:00pm.
