I will be presenting two sessions at the Maine Becoming an Outdoors Woman introductory skills weekend in September. The program will be held September 18, 19, 20 at Camp Caribou in Winslow. I have been fortunate to have been involved with this program off and on since it was started in Maine in the early 1990’s and always enjoy the positive attitude and curiosity that the participants bring to each session. Not to mention lunch is usually worth the trip.
The sessions I will be offering are.
Sharing Nature with Children: Getting children interested 
in nature is healthy and beneficial in countless ways. This session will provide effective methods for connecting children and families to the outdoors with practical suggestions and information about programs currently offered in Maine, whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher or mentor. I plan to draw on my experience as a guide offering nature exploration trips to provide helpful suggestions.
Becoming a Maine Guide: This session will introduce you to the testing process for becoming a Registered Maine Guide, tips on how to prepare for testing, basic map and compass skills and outdoor survival skills. There will be plenty of opportunity for question and answer. While the focus of this session will be on the requirements and current testing procedure I also plan to use some of the material from my Small Business Seminar for Maine Guides.
