Welcome to Washington Outdoor Women (WOW)!
Our Mission – To teach women and girls traditional and relevant outdoor skills through hands-on workshops to achieve confidence and self-reliance; to feel actively connected to the outdoors as good stewards of our environment, and to pass on these values to the next generation.
Whether new to an outdoor skill or upping your knowledge base, WOW can help you gain confidence to go further when you get out there as a Washington Outdoor Woman. We look forward to seeing you in the outdoors!
Growing the WOW Program – Recruit Event 2024
On September 21st WOW hosted a “Recruit” workshop for ‘Alum’ participants who indicated a strong interest in joining the WOW team in 2025 and beyond. The day’s activities were held at Camp River Ranch in Carnation, WA and drew a diverse group of women from all over Washington state.
The gathering provided these prospective Recruits with an opportunity to meet current team members and instructors, to learn what’s required to be part of the program, to ask questions, and to hear about others’ individual experiences and the meaningful relationships they’ve developed through their WOW teamwork.
We are happy to announce the following four new volunteers who will join the WOW coordinating team in 2025:
Laura Foster from Thurston County,
Mary Green from Chelan County,
Maureen Harlow from Pierce County and
Manuela Soria from Snohomish County
WOW welcomes these new WOW Team members who are incredibly enthusiastic about paying forward their love of the outdoors. In doing so, they add to the opportunity for others to become Washington Outdoor Women!
