Creating community in the outdoors
 It’s early June. In Wyoming’s Wind River Range, snow is beginning to melt and wildlife is starting to return. Streams run high with meltwater and green vegetation fills the valleys below. In one holler, hubbub starts to return to Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp. The camp was covered with snow and bighorn sheep a few weeks earlier, but the sheep and snow have been traded for campers and wildflowers. These campers aren’t who you might expect, though. They are adult women from around the state who are here to learn outdoor skills and build community. This is Becoming an Outdoors-Woman.
