Teacher Camp 2026

Teacher Camp, an annual professional development opportunity through Friends of Katahdin Woods & Waters (FKWW) invites educators of all types to join us for a day of learning and connecting. Teacher Camp connects the following principles to the annual focus: grounded in place, real, empowering, collaborative, integrated, and rigorous.

• Teacher Camp 2026 will focus on strengthening ongoing efforts at Tekαkαpimək to engage students, educators, and visitors through authentic Penobscot-led learning experiences. Instructors and educators will share in a commitment to provide meaningful, place-based education guided by Penobscot knowledge and connection to this homeland through purposeful exploration of Tekαkαpimək and the connected curriculum.
