Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp

Monday, August 8th – Saturday, August 13th 2022

The National Bighorn Sheep Center, in Dubois, Wyoming, is holding its second Wind River Photographers Retreat geared for the adventurous photographer who wishes to explore the Wyoming Wind River Valley and hone their photography skills while doing so.

As a participant in the 2022 Photographer Retreat (August 8th – 13th) you will experience photography in varied shooting locations, attend enlightening portfolio reviews, examine post processing techniques and immerge yourself in the art of photography all while being led by dedicated, accomplished and published photography instructors. Bill Sincavage and Sandy Zelasko are known for capturing images that tell stories and they will be helping you do just that.

The sprawling, newly renovated but historic Whiskey Basin Conservation Camp is tucked up against the Fitzpatrick Wilderness and will be your home for the week. Delectable meals, magnificent scenery and rustic cabin lodging are included in the tuition.

Dubois is a true mountain town, one of the last Western destinations that retains its western character. Only an hour away from Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Dubois retains its originality with wooden boardwalks and rustic buildings. You won’t find a fast-food restaurant but instead friendly locals, nightly rodeos and trout aficionados who know where to find the best cutthroat streams. There is a deep history here: grand family ranching, well preserved petroglyphs, Indigenous culture and cowboy life, perfect for this unique and engaging photography retreat.

The National Bighorn Sheep center is a nonprofit dedicated to the education and outreach for the national conservation of wild sheep, wildlife and wild lands.

“I very much appreciate the openness of the staff and especially of Bill and Sandy! I loved the locations and knowledge sharing of the area. I have been to this area many times and have struggled to find what I was looking for. I feel that I can now come back and bring my family and/or friends and enjoy the area in a totally different way.”
