NCGE GeoCamp Iceland: Exploring Iceland's Changing Landscapes and Diverse Environments

The National Council for Geographic Education GeoCamp Iceland is a unique field experience designed to energize, inspire, and edify experienced and novice geography teachers. The 2015 institute (nineteen participants from fourteen states) was designed for K-12 educators and in 2017 (twenty-one participants from eighteen states and Washington, DC) was broadened to include higher education faculty. The intentional mix of instructional levels and diverse subject-matter expertise enriches everyone's experience, and the learning activities draw on participants' creativity, instructional methods, and background knowledge.
