Rainforest Workshops, Service Learning in the Amazon

  Here are two exciting ways for teachers and environmental educators to travel to the Amazon Rainforest.

1. You can TRAVEL FREE while giving your students and their families the benefits of educational travel to one of the most diverse environments in the world.  Bring a group of 6 and travel with all of your expenses paid during an 8-day Amazon Rainforest workshop June 15, June 25, or July 5, 2006.  Experience a 1/4 mile Rainforest canopy walkway, get involved in a village service project, and see how indigenous cultures use the forest for medicine, food, and shelter.  Land cost for students & families is $1798, plus roundtrip airfare.  For information on how teachers can TRAVEL FREE to the Amazon Rainforest, visit http://www.travel2learn.com.

2. Sign up for the 14th Annual Amazon Rainforest Workshop specially designed for K-12 educators, scheduled July 7-16, 2006.  This 1-day event, co-sponsored by Selby Botanical Gardens, is a professional development opportunity for teachers to work side-by-side with a spirited faculty of scientists.  Academic credit and an extension to Machu Picchu are available.  Land cost for this educator workshop is $1998, plus air.  For expedition information or funding ideas call Dr. Frances Gatz at 1-800-669-6806, email fgatz@earthlink.net or visit the website http://www.travel2learn.com.
