Greetings Educators!

Save The Bay invites you to join us as we explore the San Francisco
Bay Watershed during our Summer Institute for Educators, Gold Rush to
the Golden Gate. Our week-long trip begins in the Gold Rush country
on the American River and ends at the Golden Gate, as we follow the
watershed from the Sierra to the Sea. During this Institute,
participants will discover how to integrate watershed concepts and
San Francisco Bay curriculum into their teaching. Each day is filled
with on-the-water experiences, expert speakers, and hands-on
activities. The program also introduces educators to habitat
restoration and ways to incorporate service learning projects into
their work. Participants will network with other Bay Area educators
and receive a wealth of resource materials.

Guaranteed to refresh you and revitalize your teaching for the year
ahead, Save The Bay's Summer Institute is an experience you won't
soon forget!
