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, and more.

A computer mailing list is also maintained and persons on the list 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.

If you would like your name added to the Outdoors-Woman mailing list, send an email including your mailing address to: outdoor.education@dnr.state.oh.us and add the words "subscribe to BOW" in the subject line, or call 1-800-WILDLIFE.
