Enjoy life on a Sandy Delta in the beautiful Hocking Hills!! Learning, new friends, and fun!! An overnight retreat for educators!! Keynote Presenter and Performer Chris Rowlands!!

Participants will spend the week experiencing the natural history of Ohio at Camp OtyOkwa. The 700 acre camp includes a dedicated state nature preserve, beautiful woodlands, hiking trails, and wonderful rock outcrops. Teachers and naturalists will be encouraged to broaden their knowledge and learn techniques that will help them improve their skills as an educator.

The delicate balance of people, natural resource use, and technological advances is at the heart of many local, national, and global news stories. Throughout the week, participants will explore hands-on best practice strategies for introducing people to the natural world and these issues. Using their professional expertise and experience, top naturalists and educators from around the state (and Florida) will facilitate sessions using the camp and area resources. Sessions will provide opportunities to gain an understanding of topics related to state standards by immersing the participants in the natural setting and stimulating learning environment.
