REAL OUTDOOR EDUCATION CONFERENCE (2/23)

OVERVIEW

no Friday classes? have a discussion that doesn’t count for a grade and you’re allowed to skip as long as you attend office hours? graduated already somehow (you lucky dog)?
COME SPEND YOUR FRIDAY WITH ME and SOME OTHER OUTDOORSY FOLK at the Virginia Adventure Educator Conference (VAAEC for short)
