Narrows Strut Busters - WITO

Learning new skills, meeting people with similar interests and kicking back in the great outdoors is what the NWTF's Women in the Outdoors (WITO) program is all about. Today millions of women across the country are discovering that camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, shooting, canoeing, boating and bird watching are fun and relaxing. And the number of women involved in these outdoor activities is growing. You can learn these skills at one of the events offered by the Women in the Outdoors program, which are being held throughout the United States. The NWTF's state and local chapters offer one-day events that are low cost, will fit into your busy schedule and are hosted at some of the most beautiful outdoor education sites in the country. The combination of sponsorship and local chapter support make it possible for the NWTF to offer its educational programs at low cost to participants. With your paid registration for a Women in the Outdoors event, you will become a member of the NWTF and receive four issues of the program's own entertaining and informative magazine, Women In The Outdoors.

The "Narrows Strut Buster’s" currently support the "regional" Women in the Outdoors" (WITO) Event hosted by the South Sound Longbeards at the Fort Lewis Recreation Center and at American Lake. Open to all ladies 14 and older, you may select four out of the nine professionally taught courses (fly fishing, archery, Dutch oven cooking, kayaking, gold panning, landscaping for wildlife, orienteering (map & compass), shotgun safety/usage, and handgun safety/usage).  All equipment is provided.  A Saturday evening raffle and silent auction with great prizes is available.  Includes a catered buffet lunch,  hat, and membership in WITO with four issues of the WITO magazine.  Visit TacomaNWTF.org for an application form and/or more information (this event is usually held on a mid-July Saturday).

Future chapter WITO events will be dependent on expressed interest and may include a choice of archery, ATV safety, birdwatching, boating, camping, canoeing, deer hunting, fishing, handgun basics, habitat improvement, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, plant identification, primitive cooking, orienteering, rifle safety, scuba diving, shotgunning, stream ecology, or turkey hunting.
