Family Camps

Family Camp at Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp offers an overnight camp experience for participants ages ten and up to build confidence in their outdoor skills and enjoy learning together as a family. There are three styles of family camps, which include adventure camp, fishing camp, and hunter education camp. These camps, led by Wyoming Game and Fish Department staff, will allow participants to explore nature and learn new recreational outdoor activities together as a family. Families will stay in their own cabins. The camp staff does not provide childcare. An adult must accompany children. 


The fee to attend any Family Camp is $150.00 per person. This camp includes meals and lodging at this price. Unfortunately, we will not provide transportation to and from camp.
