And not to mention the stress you lift from family life. They'll still fight, just not about work you sent home. – at Whistler, British Columbia

Silver Lake Camp for the win! Beautiful weather, wonderful people, and so many memories. Thank you, @OKLearns, for supporting these events. We are deeply grateful. Also, thanks to @pbritton78 & @KalamalkaSecond for being our cabin leaders. Top notch leadership. – at Kelowna, British Columbia
Bags are packed. Kids are excited. Teacher is already tired. Haha...NEVER! Time to create some "Camp Magic" at Silver Lake on #syilxterritory. Just another way to be part of the land. No big deal, right? – at Coldstream, British Columbia
What a game changer! Nature Journals have really helped my kids connect with the land and it's creatures and to see themselves as part of it all. #Okanagan #syilxterritory #walkaboutwednesday #proudteacher – at Vernon, British Columbia
#walkaboutwednesday was all about #scattervision. 👀 up, down, sideways, under, over, behind, through...& wow! We found 🐍, 🐢, herons, 1000s of 🐦 s, insects galore, & ALL the plants. Back @ school we categorized them and discussed why they thrive on #Syilxterritory #desert – at Vernon, British Columbia

Sometimes the outcome of your plans is in the way you frame it. Thanks, @takemeoutside for an incredible Outdoor Educators learning experience and to @pbritton78 for always pushing my thinking. And also to @OKLearns for supporting my growth. This was a powerful investment. – at Coldstream, British Columbia
Good day @takemeoutside National Outdoor Learning Conference in Banff, traditional Treaty 7 territory. So much to learn and be inspired by. – at Banff, Alberta
Limlemt to the keepers and educators at the Indigenous Gardens above Kalamalka Lake. It's a gorgeous venue for sharing Syilx knowledge and legends...and I finally saw sp‘iƛ’əm (bitter root) here on #syilxterritory – at North Okanagan D, British Columbia
Earth Day Art Installation Challenge. Good vs. Evil with plastics and "bad guys in grey " against "good guys in green." This was really fun, and the collaborative part was brilliant. #EarthDay2023 – at Vernon, British Columbia
Freeplay and exploration for today's #Walkabout on Thursday. Watched a muskrat, climbed trees, chased each other, and played camouflage.

When the question, "Can we live on Mars?", blows up in your face, the inquiry process takes over. I feel like I lost track of all the skills and knowledge being developed, but the outcome was obvious, Pride and Joy (for me and them). – at Coldstream, British Columbia
"Look! It really works!" These kids are so fascinated by solar energy/power. Thanks for inspiring out thinking @roostsolar – at Vernon, British Columbia
Another huge plate of "food for thought" about consent, setting boundaries, and learning to expect healthy relationships from @ArchwaySociety Brilliant programming for my middle years gang. #syilxterritory cc: @EllisonElem – at Vernon, British Columbia
When it's this cold, we say it's chilly. Does that make those "chilly dogs"? Well played @pbritton78 Lucky kids @KalamalkaSecond – at Coldstream, British Columbia
