Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Offers Winter Getaway
The Department of Natural Resources Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program is offering a winter skills workshop for women Feb. 16-18 at the DNR’s MacMullan Conference Center at Higgins Lake.
“This workshop is a great way for women, 18 and older, to learn new outdoor activities, improve their existing skills and enjoy the company of other women who also appreciate the beauty of winter,” said Lynn Marla, BOW program coordinator.
Marla said this winter weekend also could be a wonderful Christmas present for that special outdoorswoman on your holiday gift list.
“We promise to keep it a secret until after the holidays if we receive any registrations that indicate the person sending in the payment is registering for someone else,” she said.
Classes are offered in more than a dozen activities, including ice fishing, snowshoeing, dogsledding, snowmobile safety, winter survival and an opportunity to go winter rafting on the Sturgeon River. There also will be classes in archery, beginning handgun, basket weaving and cast iron cooking.
The MacMullan Conference Center is surrounded by mature pines and hardwoods, and the comfortable facilities offer a true “up north” feeling, and yet is very easily accessed from US-27.
The $225 registration fee covers lodging, meals and instruction, and the registration form is available on the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/dnr. Click on the “Learning Corner” to locate the BOW page.
Many other outdoor programs for women are scheduled this year across Michigan. To learn more about this program or additional opportunities, contact Lynn Marla at (517) 241-2225 or e-mail marlal@michigan.gov.
The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state’s natural resources for current and future generations.
