Becoming An Outdoors Woman & Beyond BOW

View the BOW Photo Gallery

The first Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) workshop started in 1991 as an experiment to determine whether providing an educational opportunity would be enough to welcome women outdoors.

Since 1991, the program has expanded to all 50 states and several Canadian provinces, with many offering multiple opportunities. Women are interested in learning outdoor skills. When the opportunity is offered, they line up for the chance to be involved.
