Teach the Columbia Field Course

The summer of 2022, we hosted our inaugural Teach the Columbia Field Course. Designed for educators, this four-day, three-night course took participants on a literal and figurative journey through the Columbia River. We workshopped Teach the Columbia curriculum, gathered valuable feedback to continue improving our offerings, and enjoyed sharing time together celebrating the Columbia River watershed in its end-of-summer glory.

To stay informed on future opportunities, sign up for our Teach the Columbia updates.
