Your 2018 COEO Make Peace with Winter Organizing Committee is already hard at work planning for another amazing weekend packed full of professional development, experiential learning and winter fun. Make Peace with Winter is a retreat-style conference for educators interested in learning how to share the outdoors with their students in the coolest of seasons! Snowshoeing, cross country skiing and winter camping skills; games, crafts, learning activities; snow science, winter ecology and much, much more.

Plan to join them as you learn, share and laugh with kindred spirits from across the province and beyond. You’ll savour delicious food all weekend and enjoy an evening social program filled with fun, dancing and live music. You will leave this professional development experience feeling rejuvenated and with many new ideas and resources in hand. The final ingredient for a perfect winter weekend is you! Our host site will be the Bark Lake Leadership Centre—a place of significant meaning and long standing connection to the Council of Outdoor Educators of Ontario.
