Upcoming Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Winter Workshop

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program has scheduled one-day winter workshops Feb. 19, 20 and 21 at Lake Metigoshe State Park, Bottineau. A one-day ice fishing and darkhouse spearfishing class previously scheduled for Jan. 9 has been cancelled because recent snow storms have limited access to lakes.

Lake Metigoshe offers a variety of classes. A class on dog sledding is available all three days with a limit of six participants per session (this class fills quickly). Snowshoeing and tracking, winter survival and cross-country skiing are available Feb. 20 and 21, with each class limited to 12-15 students.

Women interested in the workshops should register immediately due to limited space available. The cost is $60 for dog sledding and $50 for the other classes. Take a class on two days and the fee is $90. Preregistration with payment is required. Equipment and snacks will be provided.
