2024 Inclusive Summit
4/24/2024
WHAT IT IS: AORE is hosting this one-day summit to provide attendees with a wider recognition of exclusionary practices within outdoor recreation and education and to help them gain better understanding of how they can actively work to make change as leaders in the industry.
This year will look a little different, as we will share on demand content (3 videos and a workbook) to watch and work through before our live workshops.
WHEN IT IS: We will provide on demand content for you to review before our live workshops. You can expect those materials on April 12 (or upon registering if you register after April 12). We will host our live workshops on April 24.
WHO IS IT FOR: People who facilitate outdoor recreation and education programs. If you guide, train or encourage people to get outdoors, this Summit is designed for YOU!
WHY ARE WE DOING IT: AORE is hosting this summit to provide attendees with a wider recognition of exclusionary practices within outdoor recreation and education and to help them gain better understanding of how they can actively work to make change as leaders in the industry.
WHERE IT WILL BE: Online! You will have time to work through three on demand videos with a workbook before our live sessions, which will be offered through Zoom. We strongly recommend that attendees treat this professional development opportunity like they are participating at an in-person event by prioritizing the time for participation and by reducing distractions.

The Science Behind Leave No Trace
6/20/2024
Leave No Trace is grounded in science and research and has been since its origins in the field of recreation ecology. This has evolved over the years as recreation-related impacts and associated monitoring has incorporated human dimensions of natural resources, striving to understand how and why humans cause impacts and, ultimately, how to influence behaviors to decrease recreational-related impacts. Leave No Trace continues to inform educational programming through research, and this talk highlights recent studies and associated implications for educating outdoor recreationists. New initiatives and future research priorities will also be discussed.

As a higher-ed administrator and outdoor professional, Emily has created a training session along with the A-DASH Collaborative to understand the intricacies, stories, and approaches to diminishing sexism and sexual harassment in outdoor industries.

Critical Incident Simulations- Facilitating Training for Effective Response
10/10/2024
We already know that practice and role plays make for highly effective training for outdoor educators. Critical Incident practices are no exception and can provide a lived-experience foundation to respond to difficult situations as they occur in the field. In this session, you will learn how to facilitate your own Critical Incident Simulation, including assessment of training needs, crafting of a scenario to actualize learning objectives, logistic organization and outreach, coordination with outside agencies, social media simulation, and debriefing. Examples of actual simulations will be presented and a review of incident command structure will be discussed.
