Get a head start on a memorable summer. Spend three days and two nights canoeing along the Gunnison River Canyons in the Escalante-Dominguez NWA. We will use the call of the canyon wren, the eddies of the river, and the clear dark skies of the Colorado Plateau to enchant us. Part professional development and part educator retreat, we will learn the lessons that the canyons and river can teach us about natural history and being present to, and in right relationship with, our students and colleagues.
