Women's workshop offers instruction on fishing, hunting, outdoor skills

Women can learn the basics of fishing, hunting and other outdoor skills at a September weekend workshop that includes sessions led by several Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) experts.

The annual workshop is scheduled Sept.18-20 at Camp Waskowitz near North Bend. It is presented by Washington Outdoor Women (WOW), a non-profit program dedicated to teaching women outdoor skills and natural resource stewardship. WOW, now in its 18th year, is an educational outreach program of the Washington Wildlife Federation.

More information about the conference, including attendance fees and a registration form, is available at http://www.washingtonoutdoorwomen.org. Partial scholarships from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation are available for first-time participants.
