Registration for the fall Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) workshop opens on August 1 at 7 a.m. for first-time attendees and August 7 at 7 a.m. for both first-timers and those who have previously attended. The event takes place at the 4-H Center near Columbiana, 黑料天堂, on October 6-8, 2023.
The BOW workshop is offered through the 黑料天堂 (ADCNR). The 黑料天堂 Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is a sponsor of this year鈥檚 event.
Designed for women ages 18 years or older, the three-day workshop offers hands-on instruction in a fun, outdoors setting. Participants can choose four classes from more than 50 courses such as backyard wildlife, camp cooking, map and compass, camping, mountain biking, shooting sports, fishing, hunting, canoeing, nature photography, archery, ATV handling, bird watching, boat handling and more.
BOW coordinator Marisa Futral said the classes are perfect for attendees who are new to the outdoors. 鈥淭here are many ladies who have not been exposed to these outdoor activities and are apprehensive about trying them,鈥 she said. 鈥淏OW is ideal for those women because everything is taught at a beginner level.鈥
The registration fee for BOW is $275, which covers meals, dormitory-style lodging, program materials and instruction. For more information about this fall鈥檚 workshop including a list of classes and class descriptions, visit .
鈥淓nrollment is limited, and classes fill up pretty fast,鈥 Futral said. 鈥淭hose interested in attending BOW should register as soon as possible to make sure they get the classes they want.鈥
