Introducing our 2026 theme...
Learning in the Dark: Sky, Soil, Rock
From the rocks beneath our feet, to the rocks flying above our heads, to what those rocks become and the life they sustain... Learn with conservation educators across Ontario about geology, the night sky, soil and life underground. Discover hands-on programming you can bring back to implement in your own teachings while connecting with the land and each other. Spark new flames or come together to let old embers ignite with passion.
Registration is OPEN!
When? November 11 - 13!
Where? Cedar Ridge Camp!
See below for additional details!

Bright Spots:
Bring your favourite indoor/outdoor ACTIVITY or GAME or IDEA to share with other participants! This is an informal session. Peer to peer learning is an invaluable part of REKINDLE!
In this session participants will share new or updated program ideas, and these ideas will be collected on chart paper so that people can go back to them over the weekend to learn more or build on them
A Taste of Forest Therapy:
Experience a taste of the practice of Relational Forest Therapy. Be guided by certified ANFT guide and trainer Stana Luxford Oddie. You will have an opportunity to experience a taste of slowing down and embodied presence in the forest. This is not a training workshop, but instead an actual experience of the practice of the Forest Therapy.

Your Conference. Your Way.
With growing financial pressures, RTS committee members are always trying to find economical options for every person. Options that suite your needs from attending for two nights or just one. Maybe just day tickets. RTS is for every budget!
"All of Friday's workshops are continuous reminders of why we bring kids outside, and how we must also continue to nurture ourselves before we can do what we do."
