Step away from the conference setting and onto the trails of the San Elijo Lagoon. After days of deep learning at the CoT Summit, join a community of outdoor-minded educators to synthesize your ideas with some fresh air and rich dialogue. Admire the majestic beauty of the North County San Diego Coastline! Saunter through a slot canyon and scamper up a ladder to an epic viewpoint! Pause to observe osprey and great blue heron and sandpipers! One of the most powerful ways to provoke deep thinking is to get outdoors, taking in a few deep breaths as you soak in the beauty of San Diego, observing and pondering and reflecting, while walking and talking. We will meet at San Elijo Lagoon and Nature Preserve to gear up, set the stage for the excursion, talk about the importance of outdoor education, and engage in the a few Thinking Routines that will provoke reflective thought and spark ideas to share with fellow deep-thinking hikers. Then we will set out to conquer what is known as Annie’s Slot Canyon, stopping along the way to point out San Diego flora and fauna. The goal will be to connect with outdoor-learning-minded educators, reflect and dialogue as it relates to creating cultures of thinking and making thinking visible, and just enjoy each other's company on the trail!
