About the Event
Designed not only for formal educators but also for those working in the field through their roles as staff in state parks or reserves; environmental, residential, and nature centers; or farmers' markets, this intensive workshop will enhance educators' understanding of the Kentucky Academic Standards through environmental education activities. Upon completion of the two-day event, participants will be trained as certified educators in Project Learning Tree, Project WET, and Project WILD.
On-site overnight accommodations are available for $8. Lodging is rustic in nature - a semi-private bunkhouse on each side of the lodge. Showers are available.

Each day’s activities will focus on activities from Project Learning Tree, Project WET, and Project WILD, with a deep dive into the Kentucky Academic Standards (not just science!) and the correlations for these award-winning environmental education curricula.
