Teacher Workshop: Nature Journaling in Winter
February 3, 2026 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Free
Join us for a day of outdoor learning in the winter forest at the historic Skyliner Lodge. We will explore nature journaling; a flexible, engaging, and adaptable teaching tool that helps students develop scientific, contextual literacy, and social-emotional competencies. We will practice close observation, inquiry, and connection-building through nature journaling prompts, collaborate on using journals to foster a growth mindset, model outdoor facilitation strategies, and explore ways to integrate nature journaling into any learning context. Additionally, we will incorporate activities from Project Learning Tree to enrich our experience.
Nature Journaling connects to scientific competencies that follow the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the social-emotional competencies that follow the new Oregon Transformative Social and Emotional Learning (TSEL) framework.
Participants will need winter footwear (warm and waterproof) and winter outerwear. Snowshoes provided if needed.
Brought to you by Oregon Natural Resources Education Program (ONREP) and NatureConnect of Central Oregon
