For three days in April 2024, the WORTH Initiative and Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation convened the Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit to bring people together to discuss and share successes and challenges of outdoor recreation in Wyoming. The first 2 days of WORS programming focused on general outdoor recreation sessions, while the third day was centered on Wyoming Search and Rescue content. Along with the growth of the outdoor recreation sector, program organizers supported the convening of SAR stakeholders to help address growing concerns in the outdoors.
Attendees and speakers alike were enthusiastic about the WORS and SARCON, saying that the outdoor recreation community needs a space to come together, air issues, celebrate and learn from success and challenges, and increase collaboration across the state. The SAR community was pleased to have the time and space to utilize some needed networking opportunities and is excited to make the SARCON an annual event in conjunction with the WORS. Supported by the WORTH Initiative and the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, Wyoming’s outdoor recreation community will continue to convene annually, bringing together members of the industry from across the state and region. Additionally, the program will continue to have a day focused on Wyoming Search and Rescue.
The 2025 Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit will take place May 1-3, 2025, at the Marion H. Rochelle Gateway Center in Laramie, Wyoming.
