Sustainability Adventure Race
A fun, immersive, powerful way to make sense of the topic of sustainability! Participants will navigate with a team around the IslandWood campus, finding and accomplishing challenges that highlight sustainable practices in natural and cultural communities. This innovative design has been pioneered at IslandWood over the past few years to rave reviews. Leave with a template for creating and running your own race, and a smile on your face!

Population Connections
Human population dynamics and cultural priorities can be a sensitive subject in addressing global sustainability issues. Educators will investigate the interconnected systems that affect sustainability, through lessons and activities that are immediately applicable in upper elementary through secondary classrooms. Participants will receive a CD with lessons and activities that they can use to address environmental issues in their classrooms.
