Fall Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) workshops planned virtually

September 10, 2020September 8, 2020 1 min read

Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) and Beyond BOW are programs designed to teach women outdoor skills. These programs provide women with information, encouragement, and hands-on instruction in outdoor skills such as fishing, shooting, archery, hunting, trapping, outdoor photography, map and compass, survival, camping, canoeing, and outdoor cooking.

BOW workshops are designed primarily for women who have little or no experience with outdoor activities. These are three-day workshops that offer many different classes over the course of a weekend.

Beyond BOW workshops are another opportunity for women to learn outdoor skills and are anything we offer that is not the traditional three-day BOW workshop. They may be “next step” classes for women who have completed a beginner class at a BOW workshop. They may be one day, one subject classes. They may even be an actual hunt, canoe trip, or camp-out.

BOW and Beyond BOW workshops are open to anyone aged 18 and over-past participants have ranged in age from late teens to mid-eighties!

This Fall BOW Workshops are Virtual and open to anyone at no fee.

Learn Real Outdoor Skills September 21 through 25 from 6:30 p.m. each weeknight. Monday – Introduction to Food Preservation; Tuesday – Introduction to Bow Hunting, Wednesday – Wild Game Cooking, Thursday – Leave No Trace Ethics, and Friday – Hunting Discussion Panel and Q&A.

Join BOW for these informal webinar presentations from the comfort of your home! There will be plenty of time at the end of each hour-long webinar for questions and discussions with the instructor and your fellow outdoors women.

Registration is first come-first served. You must register by September 17. This virtual workshop is FREE! You may register for any or all of the webinars in the workshop.
