JACKSON, Wyo. — In its 25th year of operation, Snake River Fund is prepping for another busy summer of programs and events designed to increase accessibility to and stewardship of the Snake River watershed.

“Abig chunkof our mission isall abouteducating our community about this tremendous resource that is a large partof our lives,” says Joseph Smith, Snake River Fund’s Programs and Events Director. “Through education, we can achieve connection and protection.”

The 2024official event schedule begins with Summit on the Snake,a river-guide education event, occurringthe evenings of May 28 and 29 at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

This is followed by the third annual Snake River Fest,startingJune 5 and continuing through June 9at various locales around Jackson Hole. Celebrating the history, stewardship and culture of the watershed, this year’s event will feature whitewater competitions on the Hoback and Greys rivers,a non-competitive communityfloaton the Snake River and a festival village featuring seminars, clinics, informative booths, food trucks and live music at R Park.

The Fund began its educational float series this May with over 25 river excursions for
youth and underserved members of the community. This series runs throughout summer and is performed in conjunction with Camp Jackson (Teton County/Jackson Parks & Recreation’s summer camp), Camina Conmigo, Teton County School District and other partners.

The Fund wraps up its programming in the third week of August with its Snake River
Days camp. In partnership with Coombs Outdoors, this five-day camp offers children ages 12-13 years old the chance to get on the water, many for the first time. Participants gain a greater understanding of the watershed’s natural history and ecology, while also developing on-water safety, river running and multi-use etiquette skills. Snake River Days includes a fly fishing seminar and an overnight camp on the river in Bridger-Teton National Forest.

“We find thatconnectingpeopletothe water is one of the most effective ways to develop future stewards and advocates for access to the Snake and its tributaries,” Smith states.
