Family, youth overnight summer camps offered at Whiskey Mountain

Get away to Whiskey Mountain with your family this summer or send your youth for a week of summer fun. The best part? The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has all the details handled. Game and Fish is hosting a series of overnight family camps — as well as overnight camps for youth — this summer at the department’s top-notch outdoor educational facility near Dubois.

“There’s no place more fun to learn about the outdoors than at Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp,” said Ashley Leonard, Game and Fish conservation educator coordinator. “You’ll learn more about hiking, fishing, canoeing, archery, native plants, fish, wildlife and more. No one gets too old for camp!”
