Women will have the chance to learn the basics of fishing, hunting and other outdoor skills in a September weekend workshop.
Scheduled for Sept. 12-14 at Camp River Ranch in Carnation, the annual workshop is coordinated by Washington Outdoor Women, a nonprofit program dedicated to teaching women outdoor skills and natural resource stewardship, said a news release from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. WOW, now in its 11th year, is an educational outreach program of the Washington Wildlife Federation.
Classes will be offered in skills such as archery, basic fishing, fly-fishing and fly-tying, canoeing, kayaking, preparing fish and shellfish, big-game hunting basics, map and compass reading, wilderness first aid, survival skills, wildlife identification and outdoor photography.
Workshop participants must be at least 18 years old.
The workshop fee of $225 includes the weekend’s lodging, meals and use of all necessary equipment. A limited number of partial scholarships, which are provided by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, are available for first-time participants.
