Deeper Learning Educator Camp
A off-the-grid summer camp for school-based educators seeking inspiration, rejuvenation, and connection with like-minded colleagues from around the country who believe in the power of deeper learning for students.
“Deeper Learning Ed Camp has been a fresh breath of inspiration, community and next level thinkers. The collaboration with other educators was such a transformative experience and showed me what is possible.” - 2024 Ed Camp Participant
A space for joy, rejuvenation & camaraderie with like-minded colleagues
In July 2024, we launched our inaugural EdCamp. Hosted at the idyllic Beaver Hollow Conference Center, a property on over 300 acres of lakes and scenic woodlands, participants experienced four days of immersive workshops, community building, and small-group deep dives into tricky problems related to innovative pedagogy and school design. Teachers and school leaders from across North America left with a new community of collaborators, and practical tools to transform their work.
