CONCORD — Women interested in learning outdoor skills in a beautiful setting can sign up for New Hampshire’s fall “Becoming an Outdoors-Woman” weekend workshop, which will take place Sept. 7-9 at Rockywold / Deephaven Camps on Squam Lake in Holderness. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is offering the weekend workshop for $335, which includes two nights of lodging, plus all meals, instruction, and equipment use. Participants must be 18 or older.

Participants can select four sessions from more than 30 different outdoor skills workshops, including archery, fishing, fly fishing, camping, field dressing game, hiking, kayaking, rifle, shotgun, nature photography, outdoor survival, campfire cooking, mountain biking, map and compass, and more.

“Our participants have a lot of fun learning in the company of other women,” said Kim Proulx, who coordinates the program for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “They are truly motivated when they see that outdoor recreation can add such an exciting new dimension to their lives.”

New Hampshire’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (www.wildnh.com) and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation (www.nhwf.org).

Registrations will now be accepted by mail, email, fax, or walk-in. In the spirit of being fair to all, Fall BOW registration will now occur by random lottery.

Prospective participants can take advantage of a three-week pre-lottery registration period from June 4 to June 22, with the lottery held the following week. Registrations will also be accepted until Aug. 1, as there may be space available after the lottery is held. These slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
