EdCo 2.0 Retreat

About this event

We are incredibly excited to announce our newest flagship event, the EdCo 2.0 Retreat! Additionally, we’re thrilled to share that we received a grant for this event–making the entire weekend free to Members! Join us for a two-night stay in comfortable cabins at Rock Island State Park from November 13th – 15th.

During this pilot year, space is limited, and so we’re offering early access registration to Members who have engaged with our Network in the last year. This is a Members-only retreat, but we encourage all our Members–teachers, coaches, administrators–who are interested to register.

About the Retreat:

  • Stay: Friday, November 13th (4:00 check-in) through Sunday, November 15th (10:00 check-out)
  • Sleep: Attendees will stay in one of three reserved cabins in a private or shared (2 people) room. We will communicate with you individually regarding any personal requests or privacy needs.
  • Eat: Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and dinner, Sunday brunch, light snacks, and ample coffee and tea provided. Attendees are responsible for Saturday breakfast and personal drinks and snacks. All cabins have fully equipped kitchens to share. (We all must be extra diligent regarding food allergies!)
  • Learn: Three EdCo sessions – two foundational (Critical Friends Group and Human-Centered Design Thinking) and one new. 
  • Relax: Ample time for connection: unstructured discussions around the fire, extended mealtimes, happy hour, and more. Attendees will also have access to the park’s trails and falls!
