If you’ve always wanted to give camping, kayaking, and maybe fishing a try, then consider attending the Women’s Outdoor Weekend at Caloosahatchee Regional Park March 16 – 18, 2012, near Fort Myers, Florida. Local outdoors-women will be helping out and showing ladies a variety of outdoor activities including a hayride, wood burning, archery, camp cooking, basket making and stargazing.

I imagine after participating in this women’s outdoor weekend, you’ll be prepared to compete on Survivor! I personally have not participated in one of these weekends but from what I understand, they’re a blast and educational.
