MARQUETTE — Registration is open for this winter’s “Becoming an Outdoors Woman” program, which is set for Feb. 21-23 in Marquette County, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said.

This winter will mark the 24th-annual winter BOW gathering for women 18 and older who are seeking an opportunity to improve their outdoor skills in a relaxed, noncompetitive atmosphere.

BOW participants stay and take their classes at the Bay Cliff Health Camp, a universally accessible facility overlooking Lake Superior, which is near Big Bay about 30 miles north of Marquette.

The $300 registration fee includes all food and lodging, as well as most equipment and supplies, except as noted in the registration materials. Scholarships are also available on a limited basis.

Class information, registration materials and scholarship applications are available online to print at Michigan.gov/BOW. Payment and registration materials should be sent to the address on the registration paperwork in Marquette.
