PROGRAM LEADERS RETREAT

AEOE convenes program leaders (managers, coordinators, and directors of EE providers) from around the state for a weekend of learning, connection, and fun. Combining both focused professional development and open space sessions, the weekend retreat is a time to connect with others in similar roles, gain help from your peers, and strengthen your program while relaxing on the grounds at Camp Ocean Pines on the beautiful California Coast. 

The 2025 Program Leader Retreat will be held over the weekend of January 31 – February 2, 2025. Registration options include Saturday night only, the full weekend, or a full weekend without lodging for locals and those who prefer to stay offsite. Meals are included. The professional learning focus is described below.
