The Palmetto Outdoor Women’s Retreat (POWR) is held annually and allows women to spend a weekend together learning skills including archery, fishing, boating, nature crafts, birding, hiking, shooting sports, outdoor photography, and much more!
POWR+ Women's Quail Hunt
SCWF’s was excited to offer their very first POWR + Quail Hunt on December 18, 2023! The hunt was led by SCWF Board Member, Hunter Morton, an educator at the school and owner of ALL IN Kennels. His dog Huk, an accomplished German Shorthaired pointer, accompanied the group to assist with the hunt. German Shorthaired pointers are popular bird dogs, and it was easy to see how much Huk enjoyed finding the coveys of quail.
POWR+ Inshore Fishing Day: Who needs bait?
At our recent POWR+ Inshore Fishing with Artificials day, women learned how to fish for inshore saltwater fish using lures and other artificial bait. In the summertime when baitfish are plentiful, it can be easier to catch fish on live bait. But over the cooler months, baitfish isn’t as common in our local waters.
