2023 Wyoming Elk Camp Application
**NOTE** Application closing Sunday, July 16th! Participants will be notified Thursday, July 18th of acceptance and next steps.


Ladies Elk Camp is an opportunity for women to come together, share stories, learn from each other, and form new friendships. We are excited that you are interested in Artemis and we are looking forward to a fun weekend together! To ensure we are all on the same page, here are a few specifics about the event:

What this is: Ladies Elk Camp is an opportunity for women hunters to enjoy a few days of hunting, cooking, camping, and sharing stories around the campfire! We want to bring together women from experienced hunters with years under their belts with women looking to fill their first elk tag to share knowledge and tools for a successful hunt, and learn more about elk in Wyoming.

If you are planning on harvesting your own elk will need your own elk license for Elk Hunt Area 28; general elk licenses are available over the counter for Wyoming residents if you do not already have one. You can read more about the area here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Hunting/Hunt-Planner/Elk-Hunting/Elk-Area-28

What this is not: This event is not a guided trip. We are excited to learn from and mentor each other. However, you are expected to bring your own hunting gear, camping gear, and participate in meal prep. For those looking to mentor or looking for additional mentorship we will form hunt teams, but women are also welcome to plan their own hunt in the area.

Cost: Ladies Elk Camp is free, but if participants are able to donate a small amount toward the shared tent, firewood, etc. that is welcome - but not required.

Date: Thursday, October 5, 2023 – Sunday, October 8 or Monday, October 9, 2023 (depending on whether you can stay for the Monday holiday)

Time: Participants will be required to be in camp by Thursday afternoon for an evening educational session - this year we are hoping we'll be able to do a seminar on breaking down an elk in the field! This will also be our opportunity to discuss hunt plans for the weekend and review potential hunt locations, talk about camp rules, and get to know each other.

Accepted participants are welcome to come as early as October 1 to scout the area; camp host Sabrina King will be hunting starting the 1st, so you're welcome to join!

Location: We will be hunting on public land in the southern area of Elk Hunt Area 28, in Wyoming's beautiful Wind River Mountains. Camp is on private land at the southern edge of the hunt area and details will be provided to accepted participants prior to camp.

What to expect: Hunters will have the opportunity to hunt in a trio, pair off, or hunt solo based on experience. We will be primitive camping this weekend, but will have a large canvass wall tent for warmth, meals, and gathering. Hunters should be prepared with their own camping equipment, water, and food. Shared dinners were planned by hunters last year (with delicious dinners like pronghorn tacos!), and we'll likely have shared dinners again in 2023, depending on the needs and desires of the group.

**NOTE** The camp location is at an elevation of 8,500 feet, and we will be hunting in the mountains, between 8,000-9,500 feet. Please be sure you can be prepared for a high-elevation hunt camp.

When bringing a group of people who do not know each other together for a hunting trip, it is important that everyone feel safe. It is expected that you will be familiar with your weapon and firearm safety, and you must have completed your hunter safety and have your conservation stamps, as well as following any other regulations for hunting in the area.

National Wildlife Federation’s Artemis Program is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for our all of our staff, affiliates, sponsors, partners, volunteers, participants, and contractors (Artemis community members) when engaging in the Artemis community, including at our programs and events. The following commitment serves as a code of conduct to help Artemis community members understand what we expect for them when engaging in the Artemis community, as well as guide them on what does not belong. By registering for this event, you are agreeing to this commitment.

Shared Values. We have shared values of mission focus, collaboration, empowerment, inclusivity, mindfulness, and respect for each other regardless of our Artemis affiliation. Artemis honors, respects, and uplifts women and nonbinary people of all races, ethnicities, orientations, experiences, cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. We also humbly and diligently strive for equity and inclusivity with our words and actions in collaboration with our Artemis community, and in the broader national hunting and fishing conservation community. We expect everyone to embody those values when engaging in the Artemis community. 

Prohibition on Discrimination and Harassment. It is the responsibility of all Artemis community members to treat each other with dignity and respect when engaging in the Artemis community. NWF and the Artemis program do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, bullying, intimidation, abuse of authority, or mistreatment of any individual on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, religious views, or other ground prohibited by applicable law. 

Prohibition on Sexual Harassment. NWF and the Artemis program further will not tolerate in our community sexual harassment of any kind, including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, unwanted physical contact, and/or other inappropriate verbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature.

Health and Safety. To help us meet our commitment to safety, if you see something that presents a safety or security concern, please elevate that right away so it can be addressed — if it is a life-threatening emergency, call 911. Any firearms or weapons at Artemis sporting programs and events must be properly licensed, and at all times carried and used consistent with applicable laws and only for authorized activities. Additionally, community members taking part in sporting programs and events with firearms (e.g., hunting and shooting sports) must have all applicable permits and licenses to engage in such activities and legally be able to possess, rent, or use a firearm.

Drugs and Alcohol Policy. Consistent with NWF policy, Artemis prohibits the use, distribution, sale, and transfer of any illicit or illegal drugs at our programs or events. Unless designated as youth programs (no alcohol allowed), alcohol may be consumed at Artemis functions and events when the custom and occasion are appropriate. However, individuals still must be of legal drinking age and consumption must be moderate. In all cases, individuals who engage in the Artemis community must maintain good judgement or the ability to act responsibly and consistent with this commitment policy.

Applicability of Other Policies. Artemis staff will seek to share with community members additional policies and expectations if they are implicated in a particular program, event, or activity.

Reporting and Addressing Violations. If you witness or are subjected to any conduct you believe violates this Commitment to Shared Values, Respect, and Safety, or any other applicable policies, please seek out an Artemis staff member to report the incident or your concerns. Alternatively, you may contact NWF Human Resources (Robin Martin – Senior Vice President of People) and/or the Office of the General Counsel (Ben Kota – General Counsel): 

By e-mail: reportingconcerns@nwf.org
By phone: 1-800-518-6302

Artemis team members made aware of any concerns must promptly notify their supervisor, and/or NWF HR and OGC, as well. 

NWF will appropriately investigate all reports and maintain confidentiality to the extent possible under the circumstances. NWF encourages reporters to give as many details as possible to assist us with our investigation. NWF then will take prompt corrective action to address substantiated concerns, including, but not limited to, appropriate employee discipline, issuing a warning, removal or dismissal from programs and events, barring future participation, and/or referring a matter to law enforcement.
