NATWC Conference 2009
By Rick McClintock | January 2, 2009
The National Association of Therapeutic Wilderness Camping is busy planning another NATWC Training Conference! We will hold the conference on September 20, 21, 22, 2009, on Beautiful Jekyll Island (Georgia) at the Villas by the Sea.
Many folks were really excited by last year’s conference, but HEY! When did NATWC “NOT” have a spectacular event! Last year’s “symposium of collaboration” between industry organizations was a huge success – thanks to all who spoke and presented.
NATWC has a history of getting some of the industry’s biggest names together for presentations to Direct Care and Administrative Staff alike. Conference attendees stated they like to come out of the “woods and mountains” to network and train at “the beach”. “Best Practice” includes professional training for staff, networking on state of the industry topics, and “recharging the batteries”, so children and families get the best services possible! The conference committee has lined up many good workshops and presentations that can be applied to the Wilderness Counselor Certification process. Join us in this effort!
If you are a seasoned presenter, or a staff looking to present your skills on a national arena for the first time, let us know by forwarding a Call for Presenter Workshop Description (click here for document).
WE”VE GOT GEORGIA ON OUR MIND!
