The goal of the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop is to provide women an opportunity to learn skills that will enhance and encourage them to participate in fishing, hunting and other forms of outdoor recreation.
Designed primarily for woman 18 years of age or older, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman focuses on events such as canoeing, kayaking, rifle, shotgun, archery, outdoor survival, map and compass, birding, spirituality & nature, and fishing, to name a few.
This workshop gives women a chance to try
outdoor activities they may have always wanted to try but didn't know where to
go for instruction. The workshop gives beginners a chance to improve and learn
through the guidance of experienced and enthusiastic instructors in a
non-threatening, comfortable atmosphere.
All classes are at introductory level for people who have little or no experience. All equipment is provided. Enrollment is limited. Register early for best selection of courses. No registration will be accepted unless accompanied by payment. Program will go ahead, whatever the weather. Each participant will receive a confirmation letter stating which courses you are enrolled in, a list of what to bring, and a map two to three weeks prior to the workshop.
