Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' Becoming an Outdoors Woman program is sponsoring a kayaking class Aug. 16 on the Clark Fork River near Thompson Falls.

Participants will learn about kayak safety and paddling strokes before launching for a 5-mile float down the Clark Fork River. The $45 fee includes use of a recreational kayak, life jacket and lunch at the conclusion of the float.

The workshop is hosted by the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program of North West Montana. To register, or for more information, contact BOW event coordinator Ginger Ward at 406-827-4597.
