Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Conference
Friday May 8, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm MDT
Do you love food? Well chances are so do your students! Join our EcoCooks Educators to explore how food can be used as an entry point to engage students in climate action as we explore the powerful intersection of food, climate, and place.


Through hands-on activities designed for grades 4-12, participants will discover how students can build food appreciation, foster meaningful connection to land and water, engage in mindfulness, and explore the topic of food waste. Hopefully you will leave inspired to engage your learners in climate action in tangible, delicious, and relatable ways.
