The 2020 Nature and Young Children Summit:
Deep Roots and Hiking Boots

Participants engage in discussion, hands-on learning, and the sharing of ideas all centered around this year’s theme: Deep Roots and Hiking Boots.  Guided by knowledgeable early childhood educators passionate about nature-based child-led learning, we’ll revisit and strengthen our understanding of humanity’s ancestral roots to the natural world.  We encourage you to think critically, ask questions, reflect on your practice, and share your experiences as we strengthen our growing community.

In addition to a keynote address on Friday evening and enrichment activities, three different break-out workshop sessions are offered throughout Saturday.  Attendees are asked to select one workshop per session to attend. For questions about the conference, contact Katie Rooney at RooneyK@ExploreNature.org or 443-738-9223. For questions about conference registration, contact Jensen Hufnagel at 443-738-9210.
