HOWL Summer Day Camp is back for 2026 and unlike any current youth summer offering in Helena, MT. Each week, campers ages 9-12 will be able to explore the mountains, rivers and lakes that surround Helena. Weekly activities will include hiking, biking, rafting, and swimming. Our focus is to get youth outside and to experience each of these activities to help develop their outdoor skills. Ultimately, we want them to foster an appreciation of the outdoors and most importantly, have fun. 

All the equipment that you will need to provide is a backpack, water bottle, swimming clothing, towel, water shoes, bike & helmet, and food for lunch snack each day…that’s it! We provide the rest: Youth Personal Flotation Devices, rafting supplies, safety equipment and transportation vehicles and trailers.

HOWL & Omerta Arts is continuing our youth summer offering in Helena, MT for 2026. Campers ages 9-12 will be able to explore the mountains, rivers and lakes that surround Helena and learn how to capture the natural elements that we are surrounded by in their artwork. Weekly activities will include hiking, rafting, and swimming with the addition of watercolor, drawing, and sketching the nature we are in. Our focus is to get youth outside and to experience each of these activities to help develop their art and outdoor skills. Ultimately, we want them to foster an appreciation of the arts and the outdoors but most importantly, have fun. 

All the equipment that you will need to provide is a backpack, water bottle, swimming clothing, towel, water shoes, and food for lunch snack each day…that’s it! We provide the rest: Youth Personal Flotation Devices, rafting supplies, safety equipment, art supplies, and transportation vehicles and trailers. Each camper will get a sketch book and art tool pack for their week to keep after camp so they can keep the art rolling. Weeks differ from normal HOWL weeks in that we will take a longer lunch break and take sometime to learn our art skills.

Example Schedule: (All itineraries will vary week to week):

Monday – Group Meet and Greet, Hike Mt. Helena, Swim Prickly Pear Creek
Tuesday – Clay day at Omerta Arts Studio, Swim at Canyon Ferry
