Registration Underway for the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) ProgramJanuary 16, 2006 Registration has begun for the next Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) workshop, March 3-5, 2006. The workshop, which is sponsored by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, will be held at the 4-H Center near Columbiana in Shelby County. BOW is a three-day adventure workshop that offers beginner-level skills training for an array of activities ranging from turkey hunting to camp cooking. BOW participants can choose from activities such as camping, backyard wildlife, nature crafts, map and compass, mountain biking, shooting sports (pistol, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader), fishing, hunting, canoeing, nature crafts, archery, ATV handling, motor boat handling, and more. This session will include a new class: geocaching. Participants can also obtain their Hunter Education Certification and Boating Safety Certification during the weekend event. The BOW workshop is open to females at least 18 years of age. Many participants are repeat attendees who bring someone with them to experience what they have discovered to be a fun weekend filled with challenging activities. Attendance regularly includes senior adults, mothers and daughters, co-workers and best friends.
Instructors are Department of Conservation employees and volunteers who enjoy sharing their skills with beginners. Although not required, participants are welcome to bring their own equipment for use in the sessions. Registration is $195, and covers all meals, dormitory lodging, program materials and instruction. Enrollment is limited to 130 applicants, and classes fill up fast. To register, click here. Once registration is complete, registrant will receive confirmation that will include a class schedule.
