Women's Outdoor Survival Weekends
Vermont Outdoor Guide Association (VOGA) announces the return of nationally known MasterClass Wilderness Survival Instructor, Jessie Krebs who will be teaching women's outdoor survival skills for 3 weekends in Monkton, VT in October. Jessie is a former U.S. Air Force SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training instructor and one of the few female S.E.R.E. specialists who taught military members how to stay alive and return home if they were shot down behind enemy lines.
According to Outdoor Industry Association's 2024 Outdoor Participation Trends Report, for the first time ever, more than half of American women are participating in outdoor recreation: The female participation rate reached 51.9% in 2023, up from 50% in 2022.
Jessie is the founder & head Instructor of OWLS Skills (www.owlsskills.com), Colorado’s Premier Women’s-only Outdoor School. Learn more about Jessie at: https://www.owlsskills.com/about
As more women are taking up a variety of outdoor recreation activities, the need for outdoor survival skills has increased. Jessie explains that "These classes are perfect for women who enjoy the outdoors. Whether you work in the outdoor industry or participate in any of the many activities available in the region. Build skills and confidence in a fun learning atmosphere."
"Humans have been passing down wilderness skills for years, but women were often excluded. This is obvious when we look at most survival schools today. At OWLSSkills, women support and nourish each other to express and grow via training. With the physical skills of making a fire, tying up a shelter, or leading an off-trail hike, come the non-tangible skills of empowerment and confidence."
Women's October classes include: Women's Basic Survival Course, Shelter Craft for Emergencies, Practical Fire Craft and Weekend Core Survival Principles. Options include one day to more intensive three day classes. Topics such as staying warm, building fires, signaling for help, navigation concepts, knife sharpening, building emergency shelters, and more. Young, old, injured or otherwise are welcome!
