At the Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center Dupuyer, MT

The Boone and Crockett Club cordially invites you to our Outdoorswomen Skills Retreat. This program is designed to empower women with the skills and knowledge to feel confident and independent in outdoor recreation.

Our goal is to break down barriers that prevent women from feeling self-assured in outdoor pursuits and to foster a strong community of capable Boone and Crockett women in the backcountry. We understand that learning these skills can be intimidating, especially in the presence of strangers. This retreat provides a supportive and encouraging space for you to practice essential skills alongside other inspiring women.

However, each woman felt their tune changed as they went through the weekend, experiencing guidance and patience from their instructors as well as an environment of support garnered from other women in attendance. These ladies showed up ready to cheer others on and it created a small and close-knit group-feeling bonded through a weekend of trying new, and often intimidating skills together.
