2026 NM Outdoor Learning Convening


How do we make outdoor learning easy, supported, and sustainable for every teacher at every school?

Join us on October 24th 2026, at Explora as we talk through solutions, share our collective vision, and create a resource hub with partners and create communities of practice to continue the work. Detailed agenda and registration to come.

What if outdoor learning wasn’t the exception—but the expectation?

Join educators, school leaders, community partners, policymakers, and advocates from across New Mexico for a statewide convening focused on one big question:

How do we make outdoor learning easy, supported, and sustainable for every teacher at every school?

Together, we’ll engage in honest conversations and collaborative action around:

-Normalizing Outdoor Learning
-Building Teacher Confidence & Readiness
-Systems-Level Support & Permission
-Infrastructure & Conditions for Success
-Academic Legitimacy & Value
-Equity & Access

This convening is about more than inspiration.

It’s about hope.
It’s about connection.
It’s about belonging.
It’s about practical next steps.
It’s about shared ownership.
It’s about action.

A conference ends.

A movement continues.

Join us as we build the future of daily outdoor learning across New Mexico. More details and registration coming soon.

Complete the interest form below NOW until August 10th and stay connected to receive important updates!
