In 2025, we sent our first group of thirteen Rambusters campers out to Rainy Pass Lodge for a 9-day immersive outdoor camp, an initiative dedicated to cultivating the next generation of passionate hunter-conservationists.
This camp is an extraordinary opportunity designed to ignite a lifelong love for the great outdoors, hunting, and, most importantly, a profound understanding of wildlife conservation. Whether your child is an experienced outdoor enthusiast or just beginning the journey, the camp promises to cater to all skill levels, ensuring that every participant finds inspiration and growth.
We will send up to 25 kids age 11-17 to our 2026 Rambusters Camp in partnership with Rainy Pass Lodge. The 2026 camps will consist of two week-long sessions, one from June 15-22 and another from June 22-29. The application period for Rambusters Camp 2026 is open from February 12-April 13, 2026. Applicants will be notified by the first week of May. Chosen applicants will meet at Regal Air in Anchorage on their start day and fly to the historic Rainy Pass Lodge, nestled 125 air miles Northwest of Anchorage on the serene Puntilla Lake. Want to ensure you don't miss any Rambusters 2026 updates? Make sure you are a current member of the Alaska Wild Sheep Foundation. The applicant or their parent must be a current member of the Alaska Wild Sheep Foundation for acceptance, and preference will be given to tenured members.
