Bring the kids out to the Wharton Chapter NWTF Annual Kids Fishing Derby on Saturday, June 6th at Hammonton Lake Park — and the best part is it’s completely FREE!

In a world where kids spend more time staring at screens, this event gives them a chance to get outside, enjoy nature, and make memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s their first fish or their fiftieth, every child gets the excitement of fishing, spending time with family, and learning to appreciate the outdoors.

The Wharton Chapter believes in introducing the next generation to outdoor traditions, conservation, and good old-fashioned fun. Kids will have the opportunity to win trophies, receive prizes while supplies last, and enjoy a great day at the lake with other families from the community.

Events like this help teach patience, responsibility, sportsmanship, and a love for the outdoors — all while creating smiles and unforgettable moments.

So grab the kids, bring a fishing rod, and come spend the day with us on June 6th at Hammonton Lake in Hammonton, New Jersey for a fun-filled day outdoors with the Wharton Chapter NWTF!

This is a free, rain or shine event.
