Youth are referred to the Take a Kid Fishing Pink Salmon Festival by a number of local non-profit organizations. These organizations assist us by coordinating the referrals based on the below criteria. Due to the current demand, we are unable to take direct applications at this time.

a. The youth must be between 8 and 15 years of age at the day of the festival.

b. The youth and the designated adults are eligible if the family has a combined family net income of under $47, 937 and be accessing one of the eligible non-profit services.

Thank you to the non-profit agencies who supported the many youth to get out fishing for the    2023 Take a Kid Fishing, Pink Salmon Festival!
