The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) still has room for women who want to spend a weekend learning a variety of outdoor skills April 8-10.
The FWC invites women, 18 and older, to attend the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman camp to improve their outdoor skills and enjoy a few recreational activities. In four, four-hour sessions, workshops teach skills associated with hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation at all levels of physical activity.
The Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program offers a fun and supportive atmosphere to experiment and enjoy the camaraderie of others who want to learn about Florida’s great outdoors. Although it is designed with women in mind, the camp is open to anyone who wants to learn in a comfortable, non-threatening, non-competitive, hands-on atmosphere. The camp’s instructors strive to make participants feel at ease.
“Patience is the secret to the success of our Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program,” said Lynne Hawk, director of the program. “Our instructors are here to guide people through the activities. There is no intimidation.”
The workshop will take place at Camp Wallwood on Lake Talquin near Tallahassee. Sessions will begin Friday morning and end Sunday afternoon.
The cost is $175, however a limited number of partial scholarships are available for low-income participants, single parents and college students. The workshop is limited to 100 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
