This fall marks two incredible milestones for one of Montana’s favorite outdoor outfitters, The Base Camp. The Helena store is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a community party on September 6th, while the Billings location marks 35 years on October 11th with a celebration from 2–6 PM. Both events will honor decades of helping Montanans gear up for adventure, while also celebrating the community connections that have made these stores a cornerstone of Montana’s outdoor culture.
In honor of these anniversaries, we’re teaming up for an exciting giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card along with two Ales for Trails tickets to join the celebration. The contest runs from August 25–31, with the winner drawn at noon on August 31st—just in time to secure tickets before prices increase to $50 on September 1st.
Beyond outfitting Montanans for every season, The Base Camp has been a long-standing supporter of nonprofits in our community that make the outdoors more accessible and inclusive.
Their sponsorship of the BANFF Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Billings helps bring world-class outdoor storytelling to Montana audiences, while their contributions to local organizations advance conservation and trail development. By supporting these events and initiatives, they continue to ensure that the outdoors is a space where everyone feels welcome, inspired, and ready to explore.
