[Scott M]

I know most of the gals in here already have a good chunk of these outdoor skills but it might be something new to try for some...

From the DNR News:

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program is hosting its annual winter workshop March 6 - 8 at Deep Portage Environmental Learning Center in Hackensack.

“The winter workshop is very popular and provides women a unique opportunity to try out different winter sports in a supportive atmosphere,” said Linda Bylander, BOW coordinator.

Dog mushing, winter wildlife on snowshoes, cross country skiing, snowmobling, climbing wall, trapping, archery, ice fishing, air gun, and winter shelters classes will be offered. Women sign up for three classes during the weekend. Lodging, meals, instruction, equipment and evening entertainment are included in the $180 workshop fee. To register, call 888-280-9908.

A listing of BOW events is available online or are available by calling the DNR Information Center at 888-646-6367.

These workshops sound pretty cool. Has anyone attended a BOW seminar before?
