How It Works
The derby is held
every year on the Friday evening & Saturday morning of Mothers' Day
weekend. It begins with special events on Friday night and continues
through Saturday morning. Friday night includes a casting contest, burger bash and
S'mores around the campfire. Our "Fish
Tales" contest will also be held again this year on Friday
evening. Do you have a story
to tell? Is it true or just a "fishy story"? Do fisher folk really care? (Prizes are awarded for
the best adult and best child stories). The fishing portion of our derby
weekend begins early on Saturday morning after our "Macho Breakfast"!
The derby is open to any child &
adult team (a "child" being any person 14 years and under and an
"adult" is any responsible adult 21 & older). Fish can be caught
from either lakeside or boat. We are blessed with a variety of fish, including bass,
sunfish, perch and catfish. Prizes are awarded for each type of fish and in age
categories. All prizes are awarded to the child member of the team (regardless of who
catches the fish).
Accommodation is
available in our retreat houses or you may pitch your own tent. Want to use your own boat
during the Derby? No problem (just make sure that it has an electric motor). Don't have a boat?
No problem, we have boats and canoes for our Fishing Derby
contestants on a timed basis.
