Join us for the AEE Northwest 2026 Regional Conference!
This year’s theme, Expanding Horizons in Experiential Education, brings together outdoor professionals, educators, therapists, and experiential leaders for a weekend of learning, connection, and inspiration. Explore workshops across four tracks: Outdoor/Camps, Education, Therapy, and General, while enjoying the beauty, trails, and quiet retreat atmosphere that make the Cispus Learning Center such a special gathering place.
Our regional gatherings are designed to bring together AEE members and non-members alike to connect, learn, reflect, and grow in a collaborative learning environment.
