Outdoor Skills Workshops Offered This Summer

The 12th annual “Becoming an Outdoors-Woman” workshop, sponsored by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, will be held July 8-10 at the Lubrecht Forest east of Missoula.

  The hands-on workshop will offer opportunities to build a survival shelter, cast a fly rod, learn to paddle a canoe and cook up a Dutch-oven treat.   New this year are classes on the plants that Lewis and Clark discovered in Montana; nature journaling; how to use a global positioning system, or GPS unit; and going on a mock elk hunt.

The fee is $180 to $215 depending on lodging options, and includes class instruction and meals. Partial scholarships are available. Space is available, but the classes are filling quickly.

Teachers who attend the workshop can receive OPI continuing education credit.   The workshop is designed for women, but is open to anyone 18 years of age and over with a desire to learn new skills.

To receive more information and to register, provide your name and mailing address to the BOW Coordinator at FWP-BOW, P.O. Box 200701, Helena, MT   59620; call 406-444-2615; or e-mail Liz Lodman at llodman@mt.gov   .
