Women for Healthy Rural Living (WHRL) and Maine Outdoor School, L3C have expanded their OWL: Outdoor Women Lead offerings. A free women’s outing club will begin this spring and a free day camp for girls will occur twice this summer.

OWL started in 2020 as a series of videos, blog posts, and interactive activities that taught outdoor and naturalist skills. The goal of OWL is to strengthen women and girls’ confidence outside because everyone deserves to feel comfortable and empowered in the outdoors.
