Registrater for Patoka Lake’s Women’s Wilderness Weekend

Registration is open for Patoka Lake’s Women’s Wilderness Weekend, a women-only event for learning outdoor skills in a relaxed environment, May 15–17. 

The event will start at the Patoka Lake Nature Center and includes overnight camping for the duration of the weekend.

Women ages 16 and older can participate in activities including in-depth archery lessons, kayaking, Dutch oven cooking, basic wilderness survival skills, hunting 101, wilderness first aid, trap shooting, rifle shooting, boat operation, and more. 

Meals will be provided on Saturday and Sunday, and camping will take place in Patoka Lake’s modern electric campground. There is also the option to rent cabins at a nearby private facility, at the participants’ expense. 

Advance registration is required by April 15, and the cost to attend is $85. This year, priority registration will be given to women who have never attended this event. 

A more advanced Women’s Wilderness event is planned for Patoka Lake in September.
