2026 Camp Details
When: March 20-22, 2026
Where: DNR Sandhill Wildlife Area, Babcock, WI
The camp is restricted to adults 18 years or older.
No pets on premise.
Some of the skills taught at camp include:
REGISTRATION - Registration opens October 1st of each year. The call for registration will be on the WI Women's Trap Camp facebook page or by emailing womenstrapcamp@gmail.comto be placed on the registration email list.
ADVANCED WORKSHOP - A weeklong advanced workshop is open to all WTC graduates following the 3 day camp. It runs from Monday at 5pm to Friday at 2pm. Days are filled with setting your own trapline with assistance from instructors and at night we continue to learn about trap prep and maintenance, making trapping supplies, putting up fur, sewing fur, and preserving meat. Registration opens in January through emails to past students.
PENNSYLVANIA WTC - With assistance from the Fur Takers of America, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the Wisconsin Cooperative Trapper Education Program, and the PA Trappers Association, the WTC has expanded into PA. Students become WI Trapper Education certified and learn everything the WTC has to offer.
EXPANSION - We're always looking to expand to other locations within WI and other states. If you have any ideas on locations, please feel free to contact womenstrapcamp@gmail.com. We require a full kitchen and housing that can serve a minimum of 30 people and is located on (or very near to) upland and wetland trapping grounds.
