Details and Application Process
- Sessions will begin Friday evenings, will be outdoors, and require moderate activity levels.

We are selecting to create a diverse group that is representative of all K-12 grade levels, and who teach at schools from all areas within the Flathead Watershed.
- Thanks to a grant from the Glacier National Park Conservancy, all four workshop sessions are free to the twelve participants selected and there will be mini-grants available of up to $200 for classroom implementation.
- A $50 deposit must be made upon being accepted, which will be refunded upon successful completion of the program.
