The following is the description of the course from the Hog Island website:

During this action-packed week, you will learn approaches, methods, and activities for engaging both children and adults with nature. In our world, so many young people are isolated from nature in their daily lives. As educators, we have the power to rekindle this connection to nature for our students. Central to our work this week will be discussions around improving equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in outdoor spaces. Our goal is for you to leave empowered to improve access to the outdoors in your own community!

Throughout the week, you will explore an abundance of habitats on Hog Island, like the tide pools, spruce-fir forest, marshes, bogs and streams. You will embark on a full-day adventure to Eastern Egg Rock to see the restored puffin and tern colony. In a beautiful outdoor setting, these experiences provide a wonderful opportunity to learn new methods of teaching to bring home to your students. Some workshops may include incorporating art, journaling, and social-emotional skills into your science lessons and techniques for teaching outside in any environment. Most importantly, you will join a community of fellow educators from a diversity of backgrounds. This will be a communal learning experience that is guaranteed to fill up your cup as you head into the new school year.
