Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, and in an effort to keep our staff, partners, students, and public safe, we have adapted or postponed some of our courses. Please see below for more information.
Join us each summer for graduate-level professional learning courses and workshops to expand your practice and knowledge. We emphasize empirical thinking and hands-on experiences, informed by a unique multidisciplinary approach to the historical and natural heritage of the Champlain Valley. In partnership with Castleton University, most courses are available for graduate-level credit.
