Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Workshop

The “Becoming an Outdoors-Woman” (BOW) program offers outdoor skills workshops for women 18 years and older. These workshops provide a casual, non-threatening environment where participants can explore various outdoor recreational activities. Designed to be hands-on, the classes equip women with the knowledge to continue pursuing their interests beyond the workshop.
