MISSOULA, Mont. – [May 6, 2026]— Vortex® has renewed its dedication to fostering the next generation of conservation advocates by continuing the Vortex Outdoor Adventure Camps Fund with Boone and Crockett Club for 2026. Designed to support youth participation in Boone and Crockett’s Conservation Education programs at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch, this initiative reinforces Vortex®’s role as a Silver sponsor alongside other leading organizations. These sponsorships are integral to assisting with the Club’s overall mission to promote the conservation and management of wildlife, especially big game and its habitat, to preserve and encourage hunting, and to maintain the highest ethical standards of Fair Chase and sportsmanship in North America. Vortex’s sponsorship will support youth scholarships plus gear for the Club’s Outdoor Adventure Camps.
“Vortex®’s renewed support empowers the next generation to become stewards of wildlife and conservation,” said Tony Schoonen, Chief Executive Officer of the Boone and Crockett Club. “Thanks to these scholarships, we’re able to inspire youth to engage with conservation efforts, fostering a shared commitment that this generation will carry forward long after their time at camp. Theodore Roosevelt understood that conservation is only as strong as the people who believe in it and partnerships like this one are how we make sure that never changes.”
Since its founding by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887 the Boone and Crockett Club and its members led the development of policies that protected federal public lands, developed the frameworks of modern game laws, funded conservation efforts, and reinforced the vision of sustainable use of our natural resources. Throughout its history, these accomplishments have been supported through strategic partnerships with state and federal agencies, policy makers, other non-governmental hunting and conservation organizations, universities, and business and industry. The Boone and Crockett Club’s Trailblazers in Conservation partnership program aims to help today’s hunting community rise to the challenges of a changing world. Becoming a Trailblazer in Conservation shows the commitment from industry partners and others to support the mutual interests of scientific wildlife management, hunter ethics, and conservation advocacy.
“Everyone here at Vortex® is incredibly proud to continue to support this amazing program,” said Vortex® Brand Manager Sawyer Briel. “We work hard to get as many young folks interested in the outdoors as we can and the Boone and Crockett Club’s Adventure Camps do such a phenomenal job of sparking that interest.”
