POET Base Camp will be running again this year. It is two day event, filled with practical workshops focusing on facilitating education outcomes in the outdoors, connecting different learning areas and keeping up to date with the latest EOTC safety management practices. Based in the beautiful Hunua Ranges, this is a great opportunity for educators wanting to further their knowledge of contemporary outdoor education, or for experienced educators who want to have a refresher. For more details and to book your spot, contact Donald on donald.matheson@poet.org.nz
