The application deadline for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department run program, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman, is only weeks away. Women who are interested in attending the camp must submit their applications before April 15 at 5 p.m.

Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) is an outdoor skills program to help women learn and have fun outside. Wyoming’s BOW camp will be held June 23-25, 2017 at the YMCA of the Bighorns Camp Roberts outside of Buffalo. Activities at the camp are designed to introduce women to a variety of outdoor pursuits they can enjoy in Wyoming’s great outdoors—from hunting and shooting, to fly fishing, canoeing, and wildlife photography.

Applications must be submitted by mail. Faxes and e-mails will not be accepted. The three-day event costs $150, which includes all meals, lodging, and equipment. Space is limited to 35 women, and participants will be selected through a random draw with 12 spots going to women already actively acting as mentors collaboratively with Game and Fish in their communities and their mentees.
All application materials and information are available on the Game and Fish website. Applications can be mailed to:
