Meridy Capella joined the American Outdoor News Podcast to discuss Doe Camp Nation and its growing impact. The organization focuses on outdoor education for women of every experience level. Participants build confidence through mentorship, hands-on learning, and practical outdoor skills. Women in hunting, fishing, archery, and conservation continue finding support through this welcoming community.
Doe Camp Nation hosts its signature annual event in Canaan, Vermont, at Jackson's Lodge. The scenic location offers cabins, outdoor recreation, and a comfortable learning environment. Women choose from dozens of outdoor classes taught by experienced instructors. Firearm safety, hunting, fishing, survival skills, and archery remain popular options. Every class encourages safe, responsible participation in the outdoors.
Capella explained that the program succeeds because of its supportive atmosphere. Many attendees return each year and introduce friends through personal recommendations. As she said, "Word of mouth is your best advertisement." First-time participants quickly become part of an encouraging community. Mentorship helps women develop confidence while creating lasting friendships and outdoor traditions.
The conversation also highlighted Doe Camp Nation's commitment to conservation and accessibility. Scholarship opportunities help more women attend regardless of financial circumstances. The Gray Stevens Memorial Fund honors a lasting outdoor legacy while supporting future participants. Sponsors also help expand educational opportunities. These efforts ensure outdoor education remains available to women from diverse backgrounds across the country.
