Join us with our partners at Cacapon Institute and Experience Learning for a teacher workshop!

PVAS Host: WV Outdoor Learning Network Initiative

Free and open to the public. Workshop is designed for teachers grades 4-9, however all teachers from WV counties in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed are welcome. Registration is required and limited to 30 participants.

Join us June 12–13 for a two-day immersive workshop designed for 4th–9th grade educators in the West Virginia Chesapeake Bay Watershed. From kayaking adventures to hands-on activities and expert guest speakers, this professional development experience will deepen your understanding of local waterways and how they connect us all—while equipping you with the knowledge to bring watershed education to life in your classroom.

We’ll explore the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) framework—an approach that engages students in investigating local environmental issues and empowers them to take informed action. To get the most out of the workshop, we encourage all participants to complete the MWEE 101 course ahead of time.

This workshop is open to teachers from all counties in West Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed: Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, and Pendleton counties. Although this workshop is designed for 4th-9th grade teachers, other teachers are welcome.

This opportunity is brought to you by WV Outdoor Learning Network Initiative. WV OLNI is a partnership of Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan county schools and Cacapon Institute, Experience Learning, and the Potomac Valley Audubon Society.
