‘No Child Left Inside’ conference Oct. 18-20
Over 300 environmental educators are expected to attend the Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education “No Child Left Inside” conference Oct. 18-20 at the Country Springs Conference Center in Stevens Point.
The conference will provide participants with the methods and tools to engage youth in outdoor educational and recreational adventures.
Keynote speaker Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, will explain what is happening to a generation of children growing up with virtually no contact with the outdoors. Louv recently provided testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives on this “nature deficit.”
