In California, more than 6000 women have participated in a BOW Workshop
For those of us fortunate enough to live in California, we have unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities in our creeks, rivers, lakes, ocean, mountains, forests, wilderness —and never far from home! It’s time to get out there and enjoy our state!
So, if you’ve always wanted to learn how to:
Fly Fish, Hunt, Shoot, Use a Map and Compass,
Ride an ATV or dirt bike, Kayak or Cook outdoors,
BOW, CA will show you how. Your learning experience will include:
- Classroom time (often outdoors!)
- Giving you an introduction, basics and regulations about your chosen activity

Training using what you’ve learned in the environment in which you’ll use your skills -- on the water, in a bluff, on the dunes.
Of course, there will be plenty of time to practice. Our workshops are held in the perfect setting for the activity at hand. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll learn, but just as important: you’ll take home the camaraderie and serenity that is the magic of BOW, CA events.
