Welcome to our Women's Retreat registration site! 

The Boone and Crockett Club cordially invites you to our first Women of the Hunt Skills Retreat. This program is designed to empower women with the skills and knowledge to feel confident and independent while on the hunt.

Our goal is to break down barriers that prevent women from feeling self-assured in hunting 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.

Please note that the Women of the Hunt Retreat is not a hunt, a guided hunt, or a hunter education certification course. This is a retreat-style event designed to help women build confidence and independence through a variety of workshops. Participants will engage in hands-on learning centered around hunting skills—from field to fork—while connecting with other outdoorswomen in a supportive and educational environment.

Our Women of the Hunt Retreat is a little more rugged than our other retreats—it takes us out into the field to learn firsthand! Please be sure you’re comfortable hiking up to three miles across a variety of Montana terrain.

5. Due to its remoteness, our education center doesn't have much cell service. However, we do have Wi-Fi and a landline. We recommend turning on Wi-Fi calling if calls are needed while visiting. However, it is a retreat, so we challenge you to set your devices down and enjoy your short weekend away in the mountains!
6. Use of tobacco inside our education center is prohibited. If you do smoke cigarettes outside, please ensure they are properly disposed of to prevent wildfire.
7. Pets and other animals are not permitted at Outdoor Adventure Camps. Service animals are welcome to attend along with the participant. However, any animal that has not been trained to perform tasks related to an individual's disability, such as emotional support animals, must be left at home. For information on clarifying a service animal from an emotional support animal, visit: https://disabilityrightsmt.org/resources/service-animals/. If you will be attending the retreat with a service animal, please notify the Program Manager so we can make accommodations as needed. 
8. We strongly recommend notifying staff of emergency medications upon arrival (e.g., rescue inhalers, and epinephrine pens). Letting staff know where this medication is in your day bag prior to each day's activities can allow us to help you retrieve it in case of emergency. 
9. No personal firearms or other weapons are permitted on the property.
10. Personal equipment brought to the education center is not required, and the Boone and Crockett Club is not responsible for damages or loss of said personal items (e.g., personal bear spray, fly fishing rods, etc.). We will provide you with any equipment you need for workshops!
