Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW)
BOW Program Offers Women Opportunity to Expand Outdoor Skills
Are you interested in gaining confidence in outdoor pursuits and getting more in tune with our natural environment? The goal of the BOW program is to provide women (aged 18 and over) the opportunity to learn skills that will encourage them to participate in outdoor recreational pursuits. Participants learn and improve their outdoor skills with the guidance of experienced and enthusiastic instructors in a non-threatening, comfortable atmosphere. All classes are at an introductory level and all equipment is provided. BOW is for women of all ages and fitness levels.
Becoming an Outdoors Woman is for you if:
- you have never tried these activities and want the opportunity to learn;
- you are a beginner looking to improve your skills;
- you are familiar with some outdoor activities, but would like to try your hand at new challenges;
- you are looking for the camaraderie of learning with like-minded individuals.
Whether you are a newcomer to the outdoors or an aspiring outdoors-woman, BOW can introduce you to a variety of outdoor activities and can provide you with the opportunity for continued skills development.
