Service Area: La Crosse area

How does Coulee KAMO work? We are a 100% volunteer, nonprofit group. Our mentors plan, coordinate, and finance activities year around. Our mentors are all passionate about the outdoors and educating people. Several mentors have an environmental education, wildlife biology, or science teaching background. We are an activity driven organization. Our outings are free and open to the public. We often rely on volunteers – people who are not mentors, but wish to help on occasion.
To receive our upcoming activity mailings via email, please make a request to brownmtjc@gmail.com. Activities range widely and are intended to expose youth to the sheer joy of being outdoors so that they will become lifelong enthusiasts and stewards of the resource. Mentors teach their skills to kids and their parents, usually in a group format. Activities such as fishing or hunting can be one on one (these mentors have to complete background screening first). We encourage parent participation. Our kids are generally between 9-15, but younger siblings and friends often come along with the parent. We encourage families who are frequent participants in our activities to enroll a child as a kamokid, which is free. Kamokids (those who are formerly signed in and active) may enjoy a few more perks such as getting invited to extra things we put together which don’t appear on our activity schedule. If you are reading this and wish to have a KAMO representative talk to someone in your organization, please contact Mike
