Dear Fellow Montessorians,

We are thrilled to introduce you to our third “Montessori in the Mountains” conference retreat. The aspen will turn to gold, the elk will bugle, and we will gather together in the Rocky Mountains.

Below you will find an exciting program of events, and more than 60 professional development workshops at all age levels for Montessori teachers, assistants and administrators. Conference registrants may choose single session or double session workshops, or a couple of full day workshops. Long lunch breaks allow time to relax between sessions and breathe in the magnificence of the mountain scenery. Longs Peak Lodge is our headquarters, with guest rooms and most meeting rooms. It is a short walk to the Assembly Hall and to Reusch Auditorium building for additional workshops, dinners and events, and to the Aspen Dining Room for other meals. Early mornings and evenings can be chilly and nights can be starry, so bring warm outside clothes and sturdy footwear, as well as your swimsuit, sunglasses, camera, water bottle, and flashlight!

Registration and lodging reservations should be made early to ensure availability and the best rates. Early Bird registration rates are in effect until June 30th. 2020.

We are eagerly looking forward to this fall weekend of dialogue and renewal. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Laura Alexander Director, Montessori Education Center of the Rockies
