| May 27, 2008 | | Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) offers outdoor skills workshops to women throughout North America. | Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) means becoming more competent, more confident, and more aware. BOW is an outdoor skills program that offers women a chance to grow. 20,000+ women attend BOW events every year.
BOW welcomes women from all backgrounds to enjoy camaraderie with other women in a supportive, non-competitive learning environment. Participants span the ages of 18 to 80+. In addition to learning new activities, BOW participants are also treated to a variety of evening entertainment including outdoor clothing fashion shows, bird shows featuring live hawks and owls, outdoor storytelling, raffle prizes, and more. 
BOW workshops are generally held at camps or resorts. Participants stay in heated cabins or lodges that may be rustic, but have basic modern amenities including hot showers. Meals are provided and cooked by the camp staff. The focus for the weekend is learning in a comfortable atmosphere. The growth of BOW means we are reaching more women and providing them with a venue to learn not just outdoor skills, but also more about themselves, says Director Peggy Farrell. Women all across the country have told us, BOW has changed my life. That's a powerful endorsement telling us the program is even bigger than learning how to set up a tent or tie a fly. | | |
