A rugged week on the Rocky Mountain Front challenges new interns and inspires the next generation outdoors.

Week one of Outdoor Adventure Camp is in the books, and the crew at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch has stories worth telling. In this episode, Luke Coccoli sits down with summer interns Kyler Rominger and Anna Davis, the conservation interns working at the Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center and Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch, alongside conservation programs manager Madison Todd, to unpack a whirlwind start to the season. From teaching kids how to fly fish to hiking the rugged edges of the Rocky Mountain Front, this insider conversation brings listeners into the heart of hands-on conservation work.

You’ll hear how these interns—one from Michigan, one from Arizona—are learning the rhythms of ranch life, sharpening their outdoor education skills, and picking up practical backcountry know-how. They share early lessons from working with youth in the field, from introducing campers to shooting sports and fly fishing to navigating Montana’s unpredictable weather. Along the way, the team talks about wildlife conservation, ethical hunting foundations, habitat awareness, and the importance of giving kids real outdoor experiences far from screens.

Listeners will gain a deeper appreciation for what place-based conservation looks like on working landscapes, how young professionals develop their skills in real time, and why Montana’s unique mix of mountains, prairie, wildlife, and wind leaves a lasting mark on anyone who steps into it.
