The workshop fills up fast, so interested women should register as soon as possible after the opening date.

This year's fall B.O.W. workshop takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 5-7, at Rockywold/Deephaven Camps on Squam Lake in Holderness. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. The cost is $295, which includes lodging, meals, instruction and equipment use.
Several scholarships are available; call (603) 271-3212 for information, or visit www.nhbow.com for a scholarship application.
"B.O.W. is an amazing weekend of learning outdoor skills in the supportive company of other women," said Tina Davenport, who coordinates the B.O.W. program for N.H. Fish and Game. "We give women a chance to explore all kinds of challenging outdoor activities that may become lifelong interests."
Women choose from among 30 course offerings, including archery, fly-fishing, hiking,
canoeing, handling firearms, outdoor survival, kayaking, campfire cooking and much more. Participants mix-and-match three or four classes during the B.O.W. weekend, depending on their interests.
Women who want to get started in outdoor pursuits or build on skills they already have, should visit www.nhbow.com and find out more about this exciting program. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation have offered the B.O.W. weekend workshop annually since 1995.
