​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Cameo

​As part of its mission to provide the best recreational experiences for Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) visitors in Colorado, CPW is in the process of developing Cameo, a 2,000 acre, world-class education and shooting complex located just outside Palisade, Colorado. Cameo will offer state-of-the-art facilities for visitors to safely and enjoyably shoot rifles, pistols, archery, and shotguns. Additionally, Cameo will be an educational facility for the public and a training facility for law enforcement with outdoor training ranges, classrooms and indoor training ranges allowing year round opportunities. We will be offering ongoing programs and classes from introductory through advanced for all forms of hunting, fishing, shooting and other outdoor activities. We will be supporting and providing outreach events to bring new participants to enjoy all that our great outdoors has to offer.

In addition to educational opportunities and regular club or “day use” visitors, CPW anticipates that the complex will draw up to 50,000 visitors (national and international) per year through the promotion of competitive sporting events, including sporting clays, skeet, trap, field archery, 3-D archery, USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, 3-Gun, SASS, Precision Rifle Series, PALMA, F-Class, and Bench Rest. Cameo will also provide visitors special amenities, such as a clubhouse, individual picnic shelters, and RV parking.​

Benefits of Being a CPW Corporate Sponsor/Donor

CPW offers sponsorship and donation opportunities to facilitate and support the agency’s park and wildlife initiatives. Sponsorships not only provide financial resources for the development of CPW’s mission, but also foster relationships, promote collaborative stewardship, and increase public awareness. 

The benefits of being a CPW Sponsor may include, but are not limited to, playing an active role in the development of CPW programs, facilities, and special events, naming rights, and advertising. Prominent recognition of our generous donors and sponsors may (at the donor’s/sponsor’s discretion) be incorporated into the design of the facility commensurate with the level of contribution.​
