2026 Montana Matters Youth Outdoor Experience
A Perfect Spring Day at the Daly Mansion: Youth Expo 2026
Yesterday was a spectacular day for the Montana Matters Youth Outdoor Experience! The historic Daly Mansion in Hamilton, MT provided a beautiful setting, and the gorgeous spring weather made it a perfect afternoon for Montana families to get outdoors.
As a vendor, we were truly honored to be a part of the day and to see the community come together. It was also incredibly busy—our 26' climbing wall went non-stop for the full five hours! It was a joy to see so many kids interact with over 40 conservation and wildlife organizations on-site.
Highlights from the day included:
Hands-on Skills: Kids practiced their aim at archery and pellet gun ranges and learned fly casting from local pros.
Big Wins: Lucky attendees won incredible prizes, including spots at upcoming summer camps for youth ages 7–17.
Community Connection: Families enjoyed food on-site while meeting with Montana game wardens and search and rescue teams.
Our Sincere Gratitude
We want to extend a massive thank you to the organizers at Montana Youth Outdoors, the Daly Mansion staff, and the many organizations that showed up to support our youth. We are grateful for the opportunity to have stood alongside so many partners who believe in the importance of getting kids involved in Montana’s outdoors. Thank you to every family who waited in line and stopped by our booth to make memories—it was a privilege to be part of your day!
