COVID-19

Due to the availability of effective COVID vaccines, improved treatment, and the newer variants being less virulent, COVID is not the threat it once was.  However, COVID has not been eliminated and still poses a risk.  Please read our COVID policy.

Registration Procedure:

To register for a course, either use the Eventbrite link above, or send email to education@woburnsportsmen.com with the following information:

After receiving the above information, we will email details on payment.  Send your payment as soon as possible to reserve your class position.  The course fills quickly, so don’t delay!
