BECOMING AN OUTDOORS WOMAN

Becoming an Outdoors Woman is a program of the Outdoor Education Division of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Bow is a program designed to encourage women to become active participants in the great outdoors; including activities related to hunting, camping, boating, backpacking and hiking and fishing to name a few.

The workshops are geared toward adult women. However, anyone 18 years of age or older who wants to learn outdoor skills in a non-intimidating and friendly environment is welcome to register.
