WOW’s re-entry to outdoor skills teaching started with this very successful, very hot day!
These participants enthusiastically engaged in the 88-degree weather. WOW’s awesome instructors facilitated positive experiences with their motivating teaching styles while the WOW team stayed on “hydration detail”! The heat didn’t inhibit the fire builders or the dryland casters, the wild plant identifiers or the dutch oven tasters. The WOW women welcomed learning their new skills without hesitation. It was a day of insight, sharing, and welcomed camaraderie.
This special group of (now) WOW alums showed us the staying power of outdoor women.
Well done! You are on your way!
