Are you an archer looking to build your confidence, improve your shooting, and level up as a bow hunter?
If you currently have a bow but you’re feeling like you have a long way to go to truly owning your confidence as a bow hunter, this camp is for you!
Whether you just got a new to you bow and want to learn how to use it, you've had a bow but haven’t spent much time with it, or you've shot a bow for a long time but you still need to refine your process and build consistency in your shot--this full immersion weekend will teach you what you need to know!
Our Archery Fundamentals Course is a hands-on camp that helps you better understand how your bow works on all levels.
We will cover the components to a bow, how to create your own shooting cycle, how to sight your bow in by yourself, and of course, help you become a confident and consistent shooter!
Good archers and bowhunters aren't necessarily those who have been shooting a bow for a long time, it’s those who develop and practice with good habits and proper mechanics.
Our mission is not only to help you understand your bow and learn to sight in yourself, but also help you own your shot process and gain confidence so you can expand your experiences in the field or on the range!
This will be a full immersion weekend for women in the outdoors and will cover many topics to help prepare you for the best hunting season of your life!
This camp will be a combination of shooting, discussion, and hands on education.
The Oregon event will be held in collaboration with the NW Mountain Challenge at the Hoodoo Ski Resort and we will be able to shoot their epic 3D Mountain courses! There will be on site camping with room for tents and even an RV or two!
The Utah event will be held at the Weber County Archery Park and be a combination of indoor range, discussions in the conference room, time on the outdoor 3D range, and time to campout and connect with new friends!
Both the Oregon and Utah events will have on site camping! Lodging will be provided "elk camp" style. Enjoy the weekend with friends while we camp out in wall tents and shelters together. Bring your tent or borrow one from your host! These fun and laid back weekends will be full of education, connection, and new friends!
Pack your bags, grab your archery gear, throw some food into the cooler and come join us for an epic weekend of archery with other passionate women!
Are you ready to learn alongside a small group of like-minded women who share your love for archery?

CAMP DETAILS
Over the course of the weekend we will uncover all the elements you need to become a great bow hunter!
The weekend will begin with time to get to know one another, share a bit about yourself, and get settled into camp.
The rest of the weekend will be filled with our Archery Fundamentals Course, and a combination of shooting drills, range time, 3D shoot, and lots of group discussions.
Because our mission is to send you into your archery season feeling capable and prepared, we will also cover some of the biggest topics in hunting - e-scouting, onX maps, using the wind, treestand/ ground blind set ups, scent control, gear talk, injury prevention, etc. - to help increase your confidence!
Archery Camp is a game changer for women serious about expanding their horizons and finally feeling like a serious bow hunter!
You may be coming to this camp for the archery skills, but this event comes with a BIG BONUS: a sisterhood and tribe of women that will change your life!
Year after year I find myself being amazed at the connections that are built during these events! Even the mostly introverted women - who tip toe in - leave with an overflowing cup of love and friendship!
This group of women will not only inspire you to soak in every bit of the knowledge from your instructor, but these women will continue to empower, uplift, support, and champion you as you head back into the grind of day-to-day life!
Who know's, maybe you'll meet your new hunting partner on at Archery Camp!

TESTIMONIALS
"The friendships you come away with from Courtneys camps are a sisterhood you never knew you needed. I’ve formed the most beautiful relationships with women across the country and I’m a better person myself because of them. They’ll walk through fires with you, laugh with you, and love you unconditionally.
Go for the knowledge and expertise, leave with a fuller heart and a soul lit on fire!!”
