Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is proud to deliver a one-of-a-kind program geared toward women who express interest in fishing and hunting, but do not know how to get started. Established in 1994, the program is now higher in demand than ever! Every September the OFAH welcomes 80 women to gather at the Kinark Outdoor Centre near Minden for three days of action packed adventure in the outdoors. This weekend long excursion is exclusively for women, and is the only provincial program of its kind.
As its name implies, Women’s Outdoor Weekend is designed to provide women with the opportunity to learn about fishing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits. Many women have expressed interest in making the outdoors a greater part of their personal and family lifestyle and the OFAH Women’s Outdoors Weekend is the only provincial program able to breaks down this common barrier. With one on one instruction participants actually learn how to handle a fishing rod, shotgun, and bow from experts avoiding the intimidation and frustration of learning on your own.
Activities may include canoeing, fishing, archery, shotgun range an riffle range, outdoor survival, wood carving, fly tying, high ropes course, night hike and stargazing, and the all new and highly requested, introduction to small engine repair, and presentation and demonstration by the Ministry of Natural Resources’ canine unit.
This weekend offers women a fun, safe, and affordable introduction to outdoor activities that they haven’t traditionally taken part in. Participants come from all over Ontario, many of which do not know anyone else attending.
