Friday Webinar Doubleheader July 11 & 18 - CILC Takes USDLA to Summer Camp
7/11/2025 - 7/11/2025

Presenters: Allyson Mitchell and others

Continuing with our national conference theme of Hitting Home Runs in the Digital Age of Distance Learning, we will have a double header series of webinars to learn more about the virtual field trip options and more that our partners at CILC can bring to your classroom, institution, or organization. Summer camp isn't just for the kiddos. Come explore new options available to you and your learners of all ages for the coming school year and beyond.

On July 11 you will learn more about CILC, experience a demo from the Center for Pupperty Arts, and explore CILC's Planning Tool. Of course there will be time for questions and a teaser for what is to come in the second half of the double header.

On July 18 we will pick up where we left off in week one and then travel virtually to the MOTE Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, followed by a discuss of the difference of planning a museum visit versus a virtual visit with an expert like Author Marty Chan.

Registering will get you access to both sessions.
