“This workshop was incredible. There are so few opportunities for teachers to gather to learn new approaches for getting students out in the world of nature to observe, wonder, question, make hypotheses, etc. – this stands out as a diamond of an experience. So refreshing, so encouraging!”

Join Tremont on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, for our one-day Schoolyard Escape workshop at Graham Middle School in Saint Paris, Ohio. This professional and personal development experience is designed to inspire and support educators in bringing hands-on, experiential learning into their everyday teaching. (Looking for a Schoolyard Escape Weekend in Tennessee instead? Join us on April 11.)

Throughout the day, we’ll:

• explore teaching strategies in an outdoor setting
• connect and share with other like-minded educators
• try out lessons you can take back to your schoolyard, regardless of the grades or subjects you teach
• earn 7 hours of professional development

No prior outdoor teaching experience is necessary – you don’t even have to have a big outdoor classroom! All you need is a willingness to try something new to engage your students. Open to K-12 teachers across all subjects and experience levels. 

Registration is $125 per person, which includes all course materials.
