Workshops

We are very excited to bring this news to you, as it's been in the works for months: We are, here and now, announcing our 2017 workshop season! And not only are we announcing new workshops, we are also announcing an entire new series of them.

As we dreamed our way into 2017, we all agreed that our vision for National Parks at Night was evolving with our passionate family of attendees, and we all felt we were ready to offer some new opportunities. So we will forthwith offer two sets of workshops: our Passport Series and our Adventure Series.

Passport Series

Our Passport Series workshops are what our lucky first-year attendees have enjoyed so far: a deep dive into the night skies of a national park, plus location scouting tutorials, lectures and image critiques. Plus a whole lot of camaraderie!

Here are the 2017 Passport Series Workshops:

April 30-May 5, 2017: Joshua Tree National Park, California
May 7-12, 2017: Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
Aug 10-14, 2017: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
Sep 17-22, 2017: Olympic National Park, Washington
TBA 2017: A Pretty Unique National Park (details being finalized)

Adventure Series

Entirely new for this year will be our Adventure Series Workshops, which are forays into national monuments, private lands near national parks, and more to be announced! These workshops will generally be shorter in duration than our Passport Series, and we will spend less time in the classroom and more time in the field having adventures!

We will be announcing the complete Adventure Series this fall (including one in a [hint, hint] very new National Park Service unit). But to whet your appetite, we are making two early announcements for workshops you can register for now.
