I am excited to announce that I will be leading a workshop at the upcoming Outdoor Play in the Early Years Conference 🌲
Children need to be outdoors - and so do you! Join us for the 4th annual Outdoor Play in the Early Years Conference set along the beautiful Bow River in the heart of Bowmont Park.
Whether you are an early childhood educator, teacher or therapist, you will come away with ideas and inspiration for outdoor play.
Be inspired to take learning outside. With 28 sessions dedicated to children ages 1-7, explore how outdoor play ignites creativity, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. Topics include:
💧 Water play
🐞 Crawling critters
🔥 Risky play
💚 Nature connection
🎨 Art outside
and more!
This year, we're offering an early bird rate of $195 + GST — so don't wait too long to lock in your spot, this rate is available until April 10.
Here is what past participants have said:
"The weekend was so fun and I came away with so many new ideas that I can use right away with little to no prepping. I absolutely loved it and will definitely attend next year!"
"Loved connecting with everyone and hearing so many amazing ideas and information. Many of the things I heard or learned stayed with me and made an impact."
