Collaborate sessions convened throughout the three day conference and drove stronger connections with People of Color; Outdoor Leadership Curriculum (pictured); Morale, Welfare & Recreation Programs; and WEA Programs and Instructors!

The Collaborate sessions have been a popular format at AORE conferences in the past and this year, they continued to create an environment ripe for making connections and building networks of colleagues--at the conference and beyond--with Educators; International Professionals; Women in Leadership; and Outdoor Orientation Professionals.

The Super Social was a great way to let off some steam on the second night of the conference! It featured a live auction (pictured right), live music, food and beverages, and lots of good times.

The Super Social lived up to it's name and brought out THE most lively auction.

Lisa Lemler (pictured left) began the Be KIND to Yourself Friday morning session with opening remarks that focused on how to make room for and prioritize self care in an industry of serving others. Her inspiring words were followed by a choice of five breakout sessions that posed opportunities to build on those practices of wellbeing!
