SPFGA Outdoor Woman's Program - Outdoor Cooking Adventure

The Sherwood Park Fish and Game Association Outdoor Women’s Program was developed to provide enriching educational experiences and engaging activities, all within a supportive and inclusive environment. Our goal is to empower women by offering a diverse range of activities, fostering a deep connection with nature, while cultivating skills that contribute to conservation efforts and the enjoyment of outdoor pursuits.

This program will consist of a series of sessions through the spring, summer, and fall of 2024, each focused on providing a direct hands-on experience with a different aspect of Canada's rich cultural heritage of hunting, angling, trapping and the shooting sports.

Are you ready to elevate your outdoor cooking skills and create mouth-watering meals in the great outdoors? This must-attend session is perfect for anyone who loves the great outdoors and wants to master the art of campfire cuisine.

Join us for a hands-on adventure where you'll learn to cook using a variety of methods and cookware. Whether it's over an open fire, with charcoal, on wood stoves, in reflector ovens, or in Dutch ovens, we've got you covered. From breakfast to lunch, dinner, and even dessert, you'll discover how to prepare mouth-watering dishes in nature's kitchen.

Don't miss out on this culinary adventure – come hungry and leave with new skills and plenty of tasty treats!

If a youth is attending without adult accompaniment, they must be 15 years of age or older. If the youth is accompanied by an adult however, there really isn’t a minimum age. As long as they are old enough to make it through this day of activities and do so safely, they are absolutely welcome to attend.
