Popular Camp Teaches Girls Outdoor Skills
Iowa’s Outdoor Journey for Girls camp introduces outdoor skills to 12 to 15 year old girls of all backgrounds and knowledge levels where they have an opportunity to try things hands-on under the watchful eye of the instructors.
The three day, two night workshop teaches a variety of outdoor skills, including canoeing, orienteering, fishing, archery, shooting rifles/shotguns, conservation, water safety, camping, game care, trapping, fish identification and fish cleaning and cooking.
The second day is devoted to certifying the girls in Iowa’s hunter education program.
The final 2009 camp is scheduled for Aug. 5 to 7 at Springbrook Conservation Education Center, near Guthrie Center. The camp fills rather quickly so early registration is encouraged. More information is available on the Web at www.iowadnr.gov, then click on Camps and Workshops under Additional Information on navigation bar on the left side of the page. Then scroll down to OJ – Outdoor Journey for Girls.
Outdoor Journey for Girls began in 1993 with the purpose of offering girls a similar experience to outdoor camps already in place for boys, and so far, more than 2,000 girls have gone through the camp.
