WOW’s Mission
is to teach women a variety of outdoor skills through which they learn to enjoy and respect the outdoors, thereby becoming responsible stewards of our state’s resources.

Welcome to WOW.  We’re glad you’ve found us. We hope you’ll browse our site to learn about opportunities for women to connect with the outdoors.  WOW is a program of the Washington Wildlife Federation and is dedicated to helping women achieve confidence and competence in outdoor skills through a series of hands-on workshops taught in informative, relevant and reassuring settings. These settings are workshops where you  and WOW instructors gather to renew  basic skills as well as stretch your capabilities. 

WOW Workshops can be unforgettable experiences for all skill levels, from the enthusiastic flyfisher to the curious outdoor photographer, so get involved. Invest in your future! WOW teaches 19 different skills that have outdoor applications. Any one of them can open a new world to you. So won’t you join other Washington outdoor women and ‘get lost finding yourself’!
