Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Workshop a Success

The 2018 Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop, held September 7-9 in Cortland, NY, was a success! In its 25th year in New York, the BOW workshop brought together 125 women from 34 counties, as well as women from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Florida. Participants were able to choose four classes of the 51 offered, ranging from fishing, paddleboard yoga, hiking, and trailer handling, to rifle shooting and big game hunting. Our workshop fosters a safe environment for learning new outdoor skills, while promoting camaraderie with like-minded women.

Some testimonials from this year’s workshop:
“I LOVED the program. I LOVED my experience. I LOVED everything about it. I came home feeling inspired, empowered, confident, and of course so much more educated and knowledgeable.” 

“I know I’ll use the skills I learned here, these are the stepping stones for doing what I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t have a way to learn or begin.” 

“This was a fantastic experience! I loved the classes and being in a supportive community of women. I gained quite a bit of confidence with all the hands-on practice and am very grateful that this program exists.”
