Calumet Keweenaw Sportsmen's Club
Since 1946, the main focus of the Calumet-Keweenaw Sportsmen's Club has been deer feeding,
fish stocking and conservancy advocacy. The Club has been a tireless advocate for fishing and
watershed conservation, outdoor education, improved hunting and fishing opportunities and
protecting public access rights in the Keweenaw.
The CKSC does not engage in political campaigns, neither endorses or opposes any candidate or political party.
The advocacy of the organization has been and remains promotion of outdoor activities, advocating for and supporting
public access to lands across the region for outdoor recreation. The organization participates in planning sessions
and public hearings when asked and advocates for environmentally sound, evidenced and scientific based rule making and legislation
that impacts our environment and natural resources and the publics access to those resources.
The Club and its members have been and continue to be active in supporting the community. Members have
volunteered their time in stream and pond cleanups, roadside and beach cleanups, as guides for local
Historical events, bell ringers for the Salvation Army, advisors for Michigan DNR land acquisition projects,
sponsoring a youth fishing derby at Swedetown pond and writing support letters for Keweenaw County public
land acquisitions. The club also made contributions to the Lake Linden School Forest for development
of an Archery range and to the Calumet High School “Archery in the Schools Program”. The club also supports
a local Youth Hunter Safety Training program. Successful youth hunters are recognized at the December
membership meeting.
