SUMMARY:Women's Turkey Camp
DESCRIPTION:Join Venery for a hands-on turkey hunting education weekend designed to help you develop essential field skills\, connect with mentors\, and deepen your understanding of ethical hunting and conservation. \nOver 20 hours of experiential learning\, you’ll gain practical knowledge in turkey behavior\, scouting\, calling techniques\, and responsible hunting practices.While Venery’s mentors will be actively hunting\, their role is to teach and support—not guide. This is an educational experience\, not an outfitted hunt\, and there are no guarantees of harvesting a turkey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetween time in the field\, gather at the community basecamp\, share meals\, and engage in meaningful campfire conversations about conservation\, hunting ethics\, and the benefits of voluntarily using lead-free ammunition for the health of our wildlife\, habitat\, and ourselves. \nWhether you’re new to turkey hunting or looking to refine your skills\, Turkey Camp will prepare you to hunt with confidence and purpose—on your own\, and on your terms.

SUMMARY:The Heart of the West: Beetreat Building connections + knowledge around the importance of bees  with Sarah Red-Laird + Ginelle Dekker
DESCRIPTION:Building connections + knowledge around the importance of bees with Sarah Red-Laird + Ginelle Dekker \nJoin J Bar L for an immersive four-day retreat in the pristine landscape of the Centennial Valley\, Montana\, where art\, science\, and conservation converge. The Heart of the West Beetreat offers a unique opportunity to deepen your connection to pollinators\, land\, and community through hands-on learning\, creative expression\, and meaningful conversation. \nSet at the beautiful J-L Ranch in the Centennial Valley\, this retreat brings together women from diverse backgrounds to explore the critical role of native bees and honey bees in our ecosystems.

No prior artistic\, beekeeping\, or scientific experience is required—just curiosity\, openness\, and a desire to see the natural world through new eyes. \nThis retreat emphasizes spaciousness and connection\, with ample free time to explore the ranch\, rest\, reflect\, and build relationships with other participants.
