Outdoor Learning: Spring & Summer

Celebrate the return of warmer weather with hands-on, seasonal approaches to teaching outdoors! This professional development day focuses on how to make the most of spring and summer environments for engaging, inquiry-based learning. We’ll explore topics like biodiversity, storytelling with nature, data collection, and gardening as a cross-curricular opportunity—connecting science, health, and citizenship through planting and caring for living things. Whether you’re new to outdoor education or looking to grow your practice, this day will offer inspiration, collaboration, and practical ideas to take learning outside. Be ready to stay outdoors for the majority of the day, rain or shine.
