2nd Annual Get Kids Out Summer Fishing &
Rydell Wildlife Refuge

July 2025

28 Youth Got Outdoors!

Fishing at Maple Lake, MN

Every youth received a fishing pole, tackle box, and tackle.

28 youth and 9 boat captains, along with many volunteers, wet their lines for a VERY successful day of catch and release. Each boat caught 40 (yes, forty) plus fish! Then, an all-beef hot dog lunch was prepared ahead by BE Meats of Crookston. For the afternoon, the youth spent time learning and exploring at Rydell National Wildlife Refuge.

Special thanks to Thrivent Action Team for the support.
