Becoming An Outdoors-Woman

 Becoming An Outdoor's Woman Logo  

The WV Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program encourages women to participate in outdoor activities. We host two weekend workshops a year designed for hands-on training in an atmosphere where women can have fun learning new skills. The BOW program is looking for women who are at least 18 years old and are interested in improving on an existing skill, learning a new skill, and/or are looking for the camaraderie of like-minded individuals. Each person is able to participate in four half-day courses along with special activities each night. Classes include: hiking, biking, camping, shooting, fishing, and outdoor cooking.

Future workshop dates are:

  • September 12 -14, 2008 Fall BOW Weekend Workshop at Watoga State Park  (registration form)
  • If you think you might like to participate in these workshops or know of someone who would, please contact:

    Do you have a passion for the outdoors and would like to share your interests with energetic people? If so, you would fit the bill as a WV BOW Program Step Outside® instructor. All classes are team taught, so new instructors are paired with a veteran BOW instructor. If you’d like to Step Outside® and introduce someone to an outdoor activity, please contact Billie Shearer.

    If you would like more information, please check out the International BOW website at http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/bow/index.htm.
