Women in the Outdoors (WITO) is a program run through the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), which is a nationwide non-profit conservation organization. The goal of the WITO Program is to provide a quality outdoor experience for women in a fun, safe and encouraging environment.
In 2014, the NJ State NWTF Chapter WITO program partnered with the staff and facility of the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge, NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and more to create unique mentored deer and turkey hunting opportunities in New Jersey as well as run women only hunter education courses. These partnerships have given us the opportunity to introduce not only women to the world of hunting in a safe, friendly, and responsible atmosphere but youth, veterans and disabled persons too.
In 2019, we launched WITO Archery Deer Camp NJ. This exciting event took place at Fairview Lake YMCA Camp in Newton, NJ, November 22-24, 2019. Sixteen women, ages 18+, attended the 2 ½ day experience to learn all about archery deer hunting, as well as have an opportunity to hunt with a mentor on public land. That weekend would not have been possible without the support and encouragement from our partners and sponsors!
Though 2020 presented many challenges in event planning, it also gave women the desire to learn to hunt more than ever before. In an effort to help women find a place in the outdoors, we launched Virtual WITO Archery Deer Camp NJ! We expanded on our in-person workshop topics to bring a 6-week virtual multimedia course experience to participants. They learned about everything from scouting to equipment to butchering and more. We were also fortunate enough to offer an in-person camp experience to a limited number of our virtual participants the weekend of November 20-22, 2020. Learning from 2019 and 2020, we combined past experience, suggestions and tweaked the model for both virtual and in-person camp in 2021. With the addition of a camp chef, and fun downtime activities in 2021 everyone involved had a great experience in camp and virtually.
In order to make 2022 an amazing opportunity for the participants, we are seeking donations and sponsorships to help offset the cost of both virtual and in person camp as well as to fundraise for future Deer Camp events and Deer Camp scholarships. We thank you for your time, consideration and support.
Sincerely,
WITO Deer Camp Coordinators
