Open to all school leaders in the PA public school system.

School administrators and leaders in the Pennsylvania area are invited to join CBF for an immersive exploration. Come and explore the joy of the watershed, network with similar professionals, and learn about the resources CBF has to offer while paddling in the Capital Area. This is a beginner canoe paddle, and no prior experience is needed. Through this hands-on experience, school leaders will explore the positive effects that environmental education has on mental health and well-being, while simultaneously supporting environmental literacy and PA STEELS standards. Participants will engage in discussion about the unique opportunities that immersing in the local environment provides to schools and consider how to collaborate to design successful school programs that utilize and benefit their local environment and promote environmental literacy. Leave with a goody bag of resources to take back to your school.

Length & Location: One day of field-based, whole-group, outdoor investigations from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. The program will take place in the Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg area. Detailed location information will be shared closer to the event date.

Cost: There is no cost due to the partnership between the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Watershed Education & Training (B-WET) Program and Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
