The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Outdoor Skills Programs are designed for beginners or for those that need a refresher course to feel more comfortable getting back into the outdoors.  We’ll teach you the basic skills that you need to perform these activities safely.  We’ll provide you with the equipment you need, discuss how to use it, and offer instruction with hands on learning opportunities with competent, friendly instructors.  We’ll introduce you to others that share your interests, take you to some new places to explore exciting recreational opportunities, and leave you feeling good about the skills you have learned.
