HOJ Elk Camp
Fall Creek, Oregon | April 17–19, 2026
 
Learn the skills, strategy, and confidence needed to successfully hunt elk!
 
Registration opens first to our VIP community before being released publicly.
 
This three-day immersive camp is designed for women who want to become confident, capable elk hunters.
 
Whether you're brand new or already hunting and want to sharpen your skills, we will walk through the entire elk hunting process from start to finish—from scouting and understanding elk behavior to gear, calling, and field care.
 
This is not a lecture-style workshop. It’s real elk camp.
 
You'll spend the weekend in the mountains learning alongside experienced hunters and a community of women serious about building their hunting skills. Only 10 participants will be accepted.
