America's Ice Fishing Tournament

About us

Located in East Gull Lake, Minnesota, Confidence Learning Center provides year-round outdoor educational and recreational activities for people of all ages with cognitive and developmental disabilities.

Created by the Brainerd Jaycees in 2020 as a way to help local organizations and charity groups facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, America’s Ice Fishing Tournament became a way to provide an exciting virtual tournament for participants to enjoy and a way to raise funds for charity.  The 4th tournament date will be February 8th, 2025, and is open to anglers in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota.  The Brainerd Jaycees have graciously transitioned custodianship of the tournament to the team at Confidence Learning Center.
