JEFFERSON CITY, MO, MAY 9, 2023 – Join women for some fun-filled girls’ nights out! These hands-on outdoor classes are taught by women for women and are held on the second Thursday of the month in May, June and September.
The following classes are scheduled:
- Thursday, May 11 – Bird-watching Basics: Do you enjoy watching birds at your feeder? Do you want to learn to identify more than the iconic cardinal or chickadee? Or, if you just want to learn some tips on being a better birder, this class is for you. Participants will take a short walk around the area to see if they can spot some birds. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars if they have them. Field guides will also be available.
- Thursday, June 8 – Dutch Oven Cooking: Take Dutch oven cooking to the next level. Participants will make some old standards as well as some new and exciting dishes in this class. When registering, please note any special dietary needs.
- Thursday, Sept. 14 – Survival Skills: Have you heard of the rule of three? Do you want to learn to build a fire without a lighter or match? Then this is the class for you. Fires will be started without a match and if it’s big enough, marshmallows will be roasted.
Classes are held at the bluff top from 6 to 8 p.m. All equipment is provided. Participation is limited to individuals 18 years or older and registration is required. To register, contact Connie at 573-751-1224 or connie.weber@dnr.mo.gov.
