BOW workshop set

Women from across Kansas will learn outdoor skills at the 12th annual Becoming an Outdoors Woman workshop Sept. 24-26 at Rock Springs 4-H Center near Junction City.

Wildlife and Parks sponsors the event for women who never have experienced baiting a hook, cleaning a quail, building a campfire or a myriad of other outdoor activities.

This workshop features a relaxed environment that is almost exclusively hands-on. Seminars help participants become familiar with equipment and techniques related to dozens of different outdoor activities.

The workshop costs $180 and includes six meals, two nights of lodging in a cabin (tent lodging also available), supplies and use of equipment. Three $100 scholarships are available, based on financial need, for first-time participants.
