Girl Dad Rox - March 11th
For the #girldads out there looking to better connect with their daughters and strengthen their relationship…ROX and the Ohio Division of Wildlife put together a fun and empowering morning for dads and their daughters, ages 10-14. Girls will get to connect with other girls and talk about what it means to “find their voice” with the guidance of a licensed ROX facilitator. Meanwhile, dads will hear from ROX experts to learn about simple strategies for empowering and communicating with their daughters. Afterward, girls and dads will shoot their shot together in a “safe archery” lesson and target practice with female trainers from the ODNR Division of Wildlife.
