Women in the Wild

April 26-28, 2013

Mission: To provide women who participate with a safe and fun environment in which to familiarize themselves with some of the many outdoor recreational opportunities in the Coastal Bend.

Goals:

1. To empower women by teaching them new skills.

2. To encourage networking among women with like interests that will provide a support group in further endeavors.

3. To create a stress free environment for women to enjoy the learning process without the pressure to master any one thing but enabling familiarization in new skills.
