ODNR Division of Wildlife - Experiencing Wildlife - Becoming an Outdoors-Woman

Welcome to Ohio's
Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program!

2010 Workshop Dates will be October 1st-3rd at Recreation Unlimited

Year after year, participants of the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop gear up to face new outdoor challenges, from casting a fly rod for the first time to tackling the whitewaters.

"Becoming an Outdoors-Woman" is a workshop with a focus on learning a variety of basic outdoor skills. It is a special opportunity for women 18 years or older & is for you if:

  • You have never tried these activities, but have hoped for the opportunity to learn from an expert.
  • You are a beginner who hopes to improve your skills.
  • You know how to do some of the activities, but would like to try your hand at some new ones.
  • You are looking for the camaraderie of like-minded individuals, and are looking for an inexpensive, fun weekend adventure.

Course offerings range from shooting sports, hunting, water sports, fishing, hiking, birdwatching and more.

A computer mailing list and a list-serve are also maintained and persons on these lists receive advance workshop brochures and registration information. Workshop fees range between $150-$175. The fee includes instruction, program materials, use of equipment and facilities, meals, lodging, and take-home items.
