University of Montana Big Sky Experience

Big Sky Experiences can fall within any of five categories: outdoors; science and technology; arts and culture; entrepreneurship; or diversity, service and leadership. One of last year’s community partners, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, found the Big Sky Experience to be a great way to showcase its conservation mission and collaborate with UM to immerse students in the local community.

This year’s Big Sky Experience will run Tuesday through Thursday, Aug. 25-27. Groups of 20 students, led by a UM Advocate student leader, will join their community partner for three hours each day. Each community partner determines how many groups it can accommodate, as well as the project and activities to complete.

Any community partners interested in hosting a Big Sky Experience can complete a project proposal online.
