In August 2025, 19 K-8 teachers joined the NEC for a Nature-based Education retreat at Camp Jubilee in Cochrane, AB. Over three days, participants explored hands-on methods for teaching biodiversity, climate change, and social-emotional learning through the lens of the natural world. Jolene Mundt, the Elementary Science Consultant, alongside 10 other CCSD teachers, attended the retreat.
