The state Department of Environmental Conservation will offer a workshop on "Becoming an Outdoors-woman" Sept. 18 through 20 at the Silver Bay YMCA on Lake George, in Warren County. The workshop is designed for women 18 or older with little or no outdoor activity experience.
About 40 different classes will be offered on subjects such as canoeing, fishing, kayaking, bowhunting, wilderness camping and first aid, shotgun shooting, outdoor photography and fish-and-game cooking.
Women can also earn a certificate in hunter or trapper safety education.
The cost is $120 for four classes, not including meals and lodging.
