ROSCOMMON COUNTY – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program will offer four Beyond BOW events this summer in Roscommon County.
The BOW program gives women, 18 and older, an opportunity to improve their outdoors skills in a relaxed, noncompetitive atmosphere. In addition to being fun to participate in, the BOW and Beyond BOW classes offer important instruction on numerous outdoor skills, safety and appropriate outdoor clothing attire.
“These smaller, Beyond BOW events provide great opportunities to experience learning in a small group environment,” said Michelle Douglas, BOW coordinator. “We are very pleased to be offering these Beyond BOW events across Michigan.”
