COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites women who are new to fishing, archery, and kayaking to an all-day nature camp at the Boone County Nature School in Columbia. There will be three separate days of camp, and participants are encouraged to choose the day that works best with their schedule as they are not required to attend all three days.

Participants are asked to be prepared to be outside all day and to dress for the weather. They should bring a water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, a change of clothes, a towel, and any other items they may need. A hotdog lunch will be provided and cooked over a campfire by the participants, but attendees are welcome to bring their own lunch as well. The camp dates are as follows:
