BOEP’s 11th Annual Conference

Why This Conference?

This event is the annual conference of the Bioregional Outdoor Education Project. BOEP began in 1999, and allows students and teachers to study their roles in the natural and cultural heritage of the Colorado Plateau. This conference is held the first weekend every March to bring together K-­8^th grade teachers and other educators from the Colorado Plateau Bioregion to learn how to better incorporate bioregionally focused, place-­based, hands on, outdoor education into their classrooms. During the conference we are presenting a variety of workshops (over 20 to choose from) that give teachers a wide variety of ideas for lessons they can incorporate into their classroom immediately following the conference. 

What is BOEP?

The Bioregional Outdoor Education Project (BOEP), a program of the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education (FCS) in Monticello, Utah since 1999. BOEP promotes understanding and appreciation of the Colorado Plateau Bioregion through core­-based, place­-based, outdoor education for grades K – 8. It serves teachers and students on the Colorado Plateau through a Roving Teacher Education and Mentoring program. Our goal is to reach all K – 8th grade public and BIA schools in the 96 school districts of the Colorado Plateau Bioregion (S. Utah, SW Colorado, NW New Mexico, N. Arizona).
