By admin | February 20, 2009

The National Association of Therapeutic Wilderness Camping will be represented in Growing Up Green: A Practitioner’s Roundtable on Environmental Education for Children, at the American Society forEnvironmental History Conference ,  on February 28th at 3:00. The Round table will include invited guests from the University of Central Florida, The National Environmental Education Foundation, The Arkansas Fish and Game Commission, representatives from outdoor service providers, and the National Association of Therapeutic Wilderness Camping.

NATWC Executive Director, Rick McClintock will present historical perspectives of Outdoor Treatment and Education Programming, and project the importance of practitioner credentialing, as illustrated by NATWC’s Wilderness Counselor Certification, as a step toward protecting paradise as a medium for education and therapy.

The conference theme Paradise Lost, Found, and Constructed: Conceptualizing and Transforming Landscapes through History will present a variety of national and international sessions on past, present and future environmental issues. The event is being held in Tallahassee Florida, an apt location for the study of the interplay between nature and cultural fantasies about paradise.
